Notă biografică

Anne Brontë was an English novelist and poet, and the youngest member of the literary family. Acton Bell was Anne Bronte's pseudonym when writing. The youngest of the Brontë children and born on January 17, 1820, was Anne Branwell Branwell. She was born and raised in a little community seven miles (11 kilometers) from Haworth Parsonage, where she was baptized. When Anne was just a year old, her mother Maria Branwell passed away; her father Patrick attempted remarriage but was unsuccessful. Anne, Emily, and Branwell Branwell frequently read books from their father's extensive collection as well as pieces from The Edinburgh Review, Fraser's Magazine, and Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. John Bradley of Keighley taught them painting while Anne studied piano and drawing at home. At age 29, Anne passed away on May 28, 1849, with Charlotte and Ellen Nussey at her side. After the burial service on May 30, Anne's remains were transported to Scarborough. To attend his daughter's burial, Anne Bronte's father could not have traveled the 110 km (70 mi) distance from Haworth to Scarborough. Under the castle walls and with a view of the bay, Anne was laid to rest at St. Mary's graveyard. Here lie the bones of Anne Bronte, daughter of the Rev. P. Bronte, incumbent of Haworth, Yorkshire, according to the stone Charlotte had put over her grave.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Agnes Grey exposes the harsh working conditions of a young governess who's hired by multiple families, including the overly critical Bloomfields and the delusional Murrays. While on assignment, Agnes endures consistent cruelty, forcing her to look inward for strength and encouragement. Agnes is a young woman who comes from an impoverished background. Eager for financial independence, she accepts a position as a governess for an upper-class family. Agnes is initially charged with the Bloomfield children, who are unruly and slightly sadistic. The oldest boy, Tom, is particularly threatening, as he likes to capture and harm small animals. Agnes also engages with the extremely wealthy Murrays and their daughters, Matilda and Rosalie, who are in dire need of direction. Agnes attempts to navigate her growing responsibilities, while maintaining her morals and resilience. In Agnes Grey, Anne Brontë examines a common plight among working-class people. It offers a revealing look at the corruptive nature of wealth, and the moral differences between the haves and the have nots. It goes beyond the surface to expose an unflattering but honest reality. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Agnes Grey is both modern and readable.
