Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Only the Governess It was only the other day that Launcelot Chudleigh came upon a half-finished portrait that he had painted of Dossie as a child. He was moving some large dusty portfolios that had long blocked up a corner of his studio, when the rotten strings of one gave way, and out tumbled a miscellaneous collection of hastily-drawn sketches, crude studies, sunny little bits of scenery, here and there a larger piece with the colours only half washed in, as though the brush had been flung away in despair; groups of figures with no particular background, a gondola floating in a very hazy sea, an Italian peasant with a Madonna face and the inevitable large-eyed babe in her arms, a little flower-girl with a gay kerchief on her head and a string of brown beads round her neck. Launcelot turned them all over with a droll, humorous smile. He was amused, as middle-aged people often are when they come unexpectedly on some toy or relic of their childhood. Ah, well! he had been young too, like other people. He had attempted and had failed; and, of course, his failures had seemed pathetic to him. Youth seldom finishes what it begins: it is ready to set the world on fire with its hasty energy; then comes reality, disappointment, the plain prose of life. Launcelot was moralizing over his sketches when one fluttered slowly to his feet. He uttered an exclamation as he picked it up and brushed the dust off it very tenderly. It was the portrait of a child, but not a pretty child. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Between the 1780s and the end of the nineteenth century, an army of sad women took up residence in other people's homes, part and yet not part of the family, not servants, yet not equals. To become a governess, observed Jane Austen in Emma, was to "retire from all the pleasures of life, of rational intercourse, equal society, peace and hope, to penance and mortification for ever." However, in an ironic paradox, the governess, so marginal to her society, was central to its fiction-partly because governessing was the fate of some exceptionally talented women who later wrote novels based on their experiences. But personal experience was only one source, and writers like Wilkie Collins, William Makepeace Thackeray, Henry James, and Jane Austen all recognized that the governess's solitary figure, adrift in the world, offered more novelistic scope than did the constrained and respectable wife. Ruth Brandon weaves literary and social history with details from the lives of actual governesses, drawn from their letters and journals, to craft a rare portrait of real women whose lives were in stark contrast to the romantic tales of their fictional counterparts. Governess will resonate with the many fans of Jane Austen and the Brontës, whose novels continue to inspire films and books, as well as fans of The Nanny Diaries and other books that explore the longstanding tension between mothers and the women they hire to raise their children.
