Description : This collection includes: 1) Agnes Grey “All true histories contain instruction; though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find…” Anne Brontë’s remarkable debut novel, Agnes Grey, is an exposition of the author’s experiences as a governess. The novel dramatizes the difficulties of an educated, unmarried and penniless woman looking for work in nineteenth century English society. The position of a governess was much coveted as a respectable career path. However, life in that situation could offer up as much punishment as privilege. Working for disparaging, unpleasant and inconsiderate households was a pitfall in this profession. Even in matters of the heart, it was often a drudgery. How will Agnes Grey overcome the unrepentant mischief wrought by an attractive student who does not hesitate to stake her claim as a rival in love? 2) The Tenant of Wildfell Hall “You know it was reported a month ago, that somebody was going to take Wildfell Hall—and—what do you think? IT has actually been inhabited above a week!—and we never know!” Anne Brontë’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was the second and final novel by the author. It was a shocking narrative for the times and was an instant success. The story bravely explores the position of women, marital abuse and feminism in Victorian society. Written as a series of letters, the tale revolves around the mysterious new resident of Wildfell Hall; the subject of mean gossip and slander in the neighbourhood. But she is the one in the eyes of Gilbert Markham, a young local farmer. Complicated and dire expositions and events force the question, is his love destined to suffer and fail? 3) Shirley ‘Do you expect passion and stimulus and melodrama? Calm your expectations… Something real, cool and solid lies before you…’ Written under the pseudonym Currer Bell, Charlotte Brontë’s Shirley is a convention-defying narrative of feminist beliefs. The story is set in Yorkshire against the backdrop of the Luddite uprisings in the textile industry during the Napoleonic Wars. It follows the lives, loves and trials of two women amidst the struggles of the workers against the mill owners. It is a tale that dives into hidden psychological corners, retrieves human dramas and challenges the beliefs and norms of the times. 4) Wuthering Heights ‘Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.’ Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights is set in the heart of the dark moors and chronicles the star-crossed love between Heathcliff and Catherine. Theirs is not a wistful romance—the love between these two ill-fated people is obsessive and cruel, bordering on violent. But love it is, and it extends beyond the mortal constraints of life and death. Their fate irrevocably linked, Heathcliff and Cathy’s doomed affair will affect not only their own lives, but also the loves of those around them—continuing to haunt the generations that follow. At once a story of desire and vengeance, Wuthering Heights explores the thin line that separates pain and pleasure, passion and obsession.
