When her family becomes impoverished after a disasterous financial speculation, Agnes Grey determines to find work as a governess. This is a personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women in Victorian society. Agnes Grey is undoubtedtedly a deeply personal novel, in which Anne Bronte views on the 'contemporary' issue of the treatment of governesses, as well as her passionate religious sympathies, find very deliberate expression; but she also touches on issues of moral behaviour, moral responsibility, and individual integrity and its survival.

She was educated at home in the Yorkshire village of Howarth, and later held two positions as a governess, difficult experiences which inspired her first novel, Agnes Grey, in 1847.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : Agnes Grey es la primera novela de la autora inglesa Anne Brontë, publicada en diciembre de 1847. La novela sigue a Agnes Grey, una institutriz, mientras trabaja en varias familias burguesas. Al igual que la novela Jane Eyre de su hermana Charlotte, aborda la precaria posición de una institutriz y cómo afectaba a una joven. La elección del personaje central permite a Anne tratar temas de opresión y abuso de mujeres e institutrices, aislamiento e ideas de empatía. Un tema adicional es el trato justo de los animales. La novela ha sido elogiada por su estilo de prosa y su representación realista de la vida de una institutriz en la Inglaterra victoriana.
