Agnes Grey Anne Brontë http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4071 urn:isbn:0199536635 en 1847 Novels <p>Agnes Grey is an 1847 novel written by English author Anne Brontë. The novel is about a governess of that name and is said to be based on Brontë's own experiences in the field. It was Brontë's first novel. Similar to her sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre, this is a novel that addresses what the precarious position of governess entailed and how it affected a young woman. <br />The Irish novelist George Moore praised Agnes Grey as "the most perfect prose narrative in English letters."</p> http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4071.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4071.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4071.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4071.mobi Jane Eyre Charlotte Brontë http://feedbooks.com/book/144 urn:isbn:1551111802 en 1847 Novels Romance <p>Jane Eyre, the story of a young girl and her passage into adulthood, was an immediate commercial success at the time of its original publication in 1847. Its representation of the underside of domestic life and the hypocrisy behind religious enthusiasm drew both praise and bitter criticism, while Charlotte Brontë's striking expose of poor living conditions for children in charity schools as well as her poignant portrayal of the limitations faced by women who worked as governesses sparked great controversy and social debate. Jane Eyre, Brontë's best-known novel, remains an extraordinary coming-of-age narrative, and one of the great classics of literature.</p> http://feedbooks.com/book/144.png http://feedbooks.com/book/144.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/144.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/144.mobi The Vicomte of Bragelonne Alexandre Dumas http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3588 urn:isbn:0199538476 en 1847 Novels History Romance Adventure <p>The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later (Le Vicomte de Bragelonne ou Dix ans plus tard) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, père.

It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte.

The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.</p> http://feedbooks.com/book/135.png http://feedbooks.com/book/135.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/135.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/135.mobi
