Agnes Grey - A Powerful Portrait of Womanhood Morality and Quiet Strength in Victorian England

Anne Brontë, Zenith Maple Leaf Press

Sinopsis

A governess. A cruel world. And the quiet strength that refuses to break.
When gentle and principled Agnes Grey takes a job as a governess to help her struggling family, she enters a world of privilege, indifference, and casual cruelty. Surrounded by spoiled children, snobbish employers, and a society that barely sees her, Agnes must cling to her values while navigating a life of isolation and quiet endurance.

Based on Anne Brontë's own experiences, Agnes Grey is a searing, honest, and deeply moving novel about the challenges faced by women in service—long before female independence was celebrated. It is a story of quiet rebellion, moral conviction, and the inner strength that burns beneath a calm exterior.

"A story of dignity in the face of oppression—Anne Brontë's voice is as necessary today as it was then."
– The Guardian

"A quietly revolutionary novel… Brontë exposes the raw truths of social class, gender, and human nature."
– The New York Times

Understated yet emotionally powerful, Agnes Grey remains one of the most important works of early feminist literature.

Black Country Music - Listening...

Francesca Royster

Black Country Music tells the story of how Black musicians have changed the country music landscape and brought light to Black creativity and innovation. 
After a century of racist whitewashing, country music is finally reckoning with its relationship to Black people. In this timely work—the first book on Black country music by a Black writer—Francesca Royster uncovers the Black performers and fans, including herself, who are exploring the pleasures and possibilities of the genre. 
 
Informed by queer theory and Black feminist scholarship, Royster’s book elucidates the roots of the current moment found in records like Tina Turner’s first solo album, Tina Turns the Country On! She reckons with Black “bros” Charley Pride and Darius Rucker, then chases ghosts into the future with Valerie June. Indeed, it is the imagination of Royster and her artists that make this music so exciting for a genre that has long been obsessed with the past. The futures conjured by June and others can be melancholy, and are not free of racism, but by centering Black folk Royster begins to understand what her daughter hears in the banjo music of Our Native Daughters and the trap beat of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road.” A Black person claiming country music may still feel a bit like a queer person coming out, but, collectively, Black artists and fans are changing what country music looks and sounds like—and who gets to love it.

She is But a Woman - Queenship...

Fiona Anne Downie

She is but a Woman, the first in-depth study of medieval Scottish queens, investigates the relationship between gender and power in the medieval Scottish court by exploring the art of queenship as practised by Joan Beaufort and Mary of Guelders, queens of James I and James II. These women were excluded from authority but clearly possessed power as wives and mothers of kings. They established and cultivated relationships with members of the court, learned about Scottish political life and supported their husbands in the business of government. The book examines for the first time the arrivals of Joan and Mary in Scotland, their social and political status, their relationships with their husbands and families, and their roles in international diplomacy.
This modern re-evaluation of the role and power of the medieval queen is a thematic exploration rather than a biographical study. It situates the experiences of Joan and Mary within a broader European context and provides a new perspective on Scotland's political, social and cultural links with Europe in the fifteenth century.
