He is quick to offer Helen his friendship, but when her reclusive behaviour becomes the subject of local gossip and speculation, Gilbert begins to wonder whether his trust in her has been misplaced.
Anne Bronte's classic debut novel about life as a Victorian governess, with a new introduction by historian and biographer Juliet Barker.
'A powerful novel of expectation, love, oppression, sin, religion and betrayal' Daily Mail When the mysterious and beautiful young widow Helen Graham becomes the new tenant at Wildfell Hall rumours immediately begin to swirl around her.
A sometimes violent and brutal tale of love and betrayal, separation and reconciliation, set in the familiar Bronte landscape of bleak houses in moorland settings.
"He had not breathed a word of love, or dropped one hint of tenderness or affection, and yet I had been supremely happy. To be near him, to hear him talk as he did talk, and to feel that he thought me worthy to be so spoken to - capable of understanding and duly appreciating such discourse - was enough."¿ Anne Brontë, Agnes GreyAgnes Grey (1847) by Anne Brontë recounts the story of a kindhearted and determined girl Agnes Grey, born to a clergyman Mr. Grey. Mr. Grey loses his fortune when the man, whom he sends to invest his money, dies at sea. As a result, Agnes decides to become a governess to help the monetary condition of the family. Unhappy with troublesome employers and children who are unmanageable, Agnes meets Mr. Weston, whose appearance plants a romantic seed in her life only to make her life better.
When her family becomes impoverished after a disastrous financial speculation, Agnes Grey determines to find work as a governess in order to contribute to their meager income and assert her independence. But Agnes's enthusiasm is swiftly extinguished as she struggles first with the unmanageable Bloomfield children and then with the painful disdain of the haughty Murray family; the only kindness she receives comes from Mr. Weston, the sober young curate. Anne Brontë's first novel, which draws on her own experiences, offers a compelling personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women for whom becoming a governess was the only respectable career open to them in Victorian society.
After experiencing a devastating financial scandal, Agnes Grey arrives at Wellwood House, determined to rebuild her life working as a governess. But her hopes are soon dashed as she faces extreme cruelty from her employers. Can Agnes regain her spirit and restore her faith in others, or is she doomed to face a life of solitude?
Beautiful and secretive, Helen Graham has recently moved into Wildfell Hall. Her reclusive behaviour quickly makes her the subject of local gossip and conjecture.
In this special collectible edition, we explore themes of love, struggle, and survival, and coming of age through the eyes of one of literature's most famous families of the 1800s.
