Agnes Grey is the daughter of a minister, whose
family comes to financial ruin. Desperate to earn money to care for herself,
she takes one of the few jobs allowed to respectable women in the early
Victorian era, as a governess to the children of the wealthy. In working with
two different families, the Bloomfields and the Murrays, she comes to learn
about the troubles that face a young woman who must try to rein in unruly,
spoiled children for a living, and about the ability of wealth and status to
destroy social values. After her father's death, Agnes opens a small school
with her mother and finds happiness with a man who loves her for herself.
