Book
Villette
by Charlotte Bronte
From the author of Jane Eyre, a strikingly modern story of a young woman starting overâwith an introduction by Weike Wang, PEN/Hemingway Awardâwinning author of Chemistry âVillette! Villette! Have you read it?â exclaimed George Eliot when Charlotte BrontĂŤâs final novel appeared in 1853. âIt is a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre. There is something almost preternatural in its power.â Arguably Charlotte BrontĂŤâs most refined and deeply felt workâVirginia Woolf called it BrontĂŤâs âfinest novelââVillette draws on its authorâs own experiences as a governess, and her profound loneliness following the deaths of her three siblings. It tells the story of parentless, friendless Lucy Snowe, who flees from an unhappy past in England to begin a new life as a teacher at a boarding school in the small French town of Villette. Soon Lucyâs struggle for independence is challenged by both her friendship with a worldly English doctor and her feelings for an autocratic schoolmaster. BrontĂŤâs strikingly modern heroine must decide if there is any man in her society with whom she can live and still be free. The Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance.

The Scarlet Pimpernel
by Baroness Emmuska Orczy
It is 1792 and France is in the grip of a seething, bloody revolution. Mobs roam the Paris streets hunting down royalists, barricades block any chance of escape, and every day hundreds die under the blade of Madame la Guillotine. But in the hearts of the condemned nobility there remains one last vestige of hope: rescue by the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel. Renowned for both his unparalleled bravery and his clever disguises, the Pimpernelâs identity remains as much a mystery to his sworn enemy, the ruthless French agent Chauvelin, as to his devoted admirer, the beautiful Lady Marguerite Blakeney. First published in 1905, The Scarlet Pimpernel is an irresistible novel of love, gallantry, and swashbuckling adventure.

Little Women

The classic story of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy in nineteenth-century New England.
Book
Emma
by Jane Austen
Emma, first published in 1816, was written when Jane Austen was at the height of her powers. In a novel remarkable for its sparkling wit and modernity, Austen presents readers with two of literatureâs greatest comic creationsâthe eccentric Mr. Woodhouse and that quintessential bore, Miss Bates. Here, too, we have what may well be Jane Austenâs most profound characterization: the witty, imaginative, self-deluded Emma, a heroine the author declared âno one but myself will much like,â but who has been much loved by generations of readers. Delightfully funny, full of rich irony, Emma is regarded as one of Jane Austenâs finest achievements.

Book
Agnes Grey
by Anne Bronte
âThe name of governess, I soon found, was a mere mockery ⌠my pupils had no more notion of obedience than a wild, unbroken coltâ When her family becomes impoverished after a disastrous financial speculation, Agnes Grey determines to find work as a governess in order to contribute to their meagre income and assert her independence. But Agnesâs enthusiasm is swiftly extinguished as she struggles first with the unmanageable Bloomfield children and then with the painful disdain of the haughty Murray family; the only kindness she receives comes from Mr Weston, the sober young curate. Drawing on her own experience, Anne BrontĂŤâs first novel offers a compelling personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women for whom becoming a governess was the only respectable career open in Victorian society. This edition also includes Charlotte BrontĂŤâs memoir of her sisters, theBiographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell. Angeline Goreau examines Anne BrontĂŤâs complex relationship with her sisters and her unhappy career as a governess as influences in writing Agnes Grey.
