Experience timeless classics like never before in this Grand Type Collector's Edition

With clear, easy-to-read formatting, this edition is designed for readers who prefer or require larger text without sacrificing the excitement of the original.

Large Print Features:

18-point font: Generously sized text for maximum readability and comfort. Sans-serif font: Clean, modern typeface designed to reduce visual strain. Italics are bolded: Important emphasis is maintained without thin, hard-to-see lettering. Easy-to-read line lengths: Shorter rows of text (under 45 characters per line) make reading smoother and less tiring.

In a world that renders her nearly invisible, Agnes Grey steps into the role of a governess, determined to forge a life of independence. Instead, she is confronted with spoiled children, indifferent employers, and constant humiliation from the aristocratic families she serves. Isolated and underestimated, her quiet strength is tested as she endures hardship and loneliness. Yet even in the bleakest moments, glimpses of kindness and hope emerge, forcing Agnes to decide whether resilience alone is enough-or if she dares to reach for happiness.

First published in 1847, Anne Bronte's Agnes Grey offered one of the earliest and most realistic portrayals of the struggles faced by governesses in Victorian society. Drawing on her own experience, Bronte exposed the precarious position of working women caught between classes-indispensable yet powerless. More than a novel of endurance, it is a quiet but groundbreaking critique of gender, class, and moral integrity, cementing Bronte's place as a fearless social commentator.
