Agnes Grey

Este artigo propõe investigar as diferentes infâncias figuradas nas obras Agnes Grey (1847), de Anne Brontë (1820-1849), Jane Eyre (1847), de Charlotte Brontë e Wuthering Heights (1847), de Emily Brontë (1818-1848). Dado que as irmãs de Haworth viram de perto as opressões trazidas pela Revolução Industrial e, antes disso, as complicações da agricultura capitalista (EAGLETON, 2005a; WILLIAMS, 2011), os entrelaçamentos entre o contexto histórico no qual viveram e a criação ficcional de suas personagens infantis contribui para uma percepção mais refinada das respectivas precariedades (BUTLER, 2019) em jogo. Proponho, assim, que o ato de narrar tais infâncias, marcando-as materialmente quanto às suas distintas precariedades (BUTLER, 2019) expõe um sistema que precisa explorar os vulneráveis para que possa crescer.

Agnes Grey

‘How delightful it would be to be a governess!’ When the young Agnes Grey takes up her first post as governess she is full of hope; she believes she only has to remember ‘myself at their age’ to win her pupils’ love and trust. Instead she finds the young children she has to deal with completely unmanageable. They are, as she observes to her mother, ‘unimpressible, incomprehensible creatures’. In writing her first novel, Anne Brontë drew on her own experiences, and one can trace in the work many of the trials of the Victorian governess, often stranded far from home, and treated with little respect by her employers, yet expected to control and educate her young charges. Agnes Grey looks at childhood from nursery to adolescence, and it also charts the frustrations of romantic love, as Agnes starts to nurse warmer feelings towards the local curate, Mr Weston. The novel combines astute dissection of middle-class social behaviour and class attitudes with a wonderful study of Victorian responses to young children which has parallels with debates about education that continue to this day.
