Agnes Grey (100 Copy Collector's Edition)


Book Description

When her family falls into debt, Agnes Grey decides to prove she is no longer a child and acquires a job as a governess to help support her family. Agnes soon learns that being a governess is not as glamorous as she once thought--she is ridiculed and abused by the families she works for. Agnes' chance at happiness is almost spoiled, until she meets Mr. Weston. Agnes Grey was Anne Bronte's debut novel. Comments made by Anne's sister, Charlotte Brontë, suggest the novel is largely based on Anne's own experiences as a governess. The novel deals with issues of oppression and abuse of women and governesses, isolation, empathy, and the fair treatment of animals. The original edition published in 1847 was littered with spelling and grammar errors, but was republished in 1850 under the careful editing guidance of Charlotte Brontë. This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (100 Copy Collector's Edition)


Book Description

When a mysterious young widow arrives at Wildfell Hall, with her young son and a servant, rumours abound. She lives there in strict seclusion under the assumed name Helen Graham and soon becomes a social outcast. Refusing to believe anything scandalous about her, Gilbert Markham befriends Helen and discovers her past. What follows is a journey of truth, love, and reconciliation. Probably the most shocking of the Brontës' novels, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was an instant and phenomenal success. The depiction of marital strife and women's professional identification has a strong moral message mitigated by the author's belief in universal salvation. Most critics now consider The Tenant of Wildfell Hall to be one of the first feminist novels. In leaving her husband and taking away their child, Helen violates not only social conventions but also the early 19th century English law. This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.
