Review

The one story in English literature in which style, characters and subject are in perfect keeping. --George Moore
艾格尼丝·格雷(Agnes Grey)是一位身无分文的牧师的女儿,受过良好的教育。她的家人把她当作小孩子一样对待,于是她开始找一份家庭教师的工作来证明自己。然而,很快,当她首次试图控制布卢姆菲尔德这个野孩子的时候,关于她的教育的理想主义观念和照顾孩子的想法破灭了,而且她还要备受上级默里家庭的轻视。本书基于安妮•勃朗特年代自己的经验,和揭示主题如童年的本质,中产阶级的兴起和孤独、残忍,甚至一个家庭教师可能遭到生命虐待。艾格尼丝·格雷充满安静的激情,至今仍然是人们喜爱的经典。

The well-educated daughter of a penniless clergyman, Agnes Grey is treated like a child by her family and so sets out to prove herself by seeking employment as a governess. Soon, however, her idealistic notions regarding the education and care of her wards are dashed as she battles to control the wild Bloomfield children in her first situation, and is then held in low regard by the superior Murray household. Drawing on Anne Brontë s own experiences, and dealing with themes such as the nature of childhood, the rise of the middle classes and the loneliness, cruelty and even ill treatment that life as a governess could entail, Agnes Grey is full of quiet passion and remains a beloved classic to this day.
