From its opening sentences Agnes Grey introduces a heroine who is honest, perceptive, and charming. Unfortunately, the Bloomfields, who engage her as a governess, are rather less appealing-and the incarnation of the suppressed cruelties and hypocrisies of the Victorian age. When Agnes moves to a marginally less alarming family, one of her charges sets out to disrupt her only romantic hope. Critical, satirical, direct, and honest, Agnes Grey is a fine reflection of its author.
