Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte: Comedy Gold
A zillion years ago I took a college English class on the Bronte Sisters. We were told about the intense literary rivalry of the three sisters. Each sister trying to outwit the other.
I couldn’t make heads or tales of the Agnes Grey story. It was just so… … so preposterous! So many scenes were outlandish but done with a straight face. It finally occurred to me that it must be a (secret) comedy!
Give it a listen or a read and tell me it isn’t the best kept secret comedy you haven’t heard in a while!
