as they dance the nights away

a wider picture of a society in transition

Agnes Grey - Wordsworth Classics Book cover type:Paperback as they dance the nightsAgnes Grey is a trenchant expos of the frequently isolated, intellectually stagnant and emotionally starved conditions under which many governesses worked in the mid nineteenth century. This is a deeply personal novel written from the authors own experience and as such Agnes Grey has a power and poignancy which mark it out as a landmark work of literature dealing with the social and moral evolution of English society during the last century.
