Agnes Surriage is a historical novel written by Edwin Lassetter Bynner. The novel is set in the 18th century and is based on the true story of Agnes Surriage, a poor girl who rose to become the wife of a wealthy merchant and a member of high society. The story begins with Agnes Surriage working as a servant in a tavern in Marblehead, Massachusetts. One day, she saves the life of Sir Harry Frankland, a wealthy Englishman who is shipwrecked off the coast. Sir Harry is so grateful to Agnes that he takes her under his wing and brings her back to England with him. In England, Agnes is introduced to high society and becomes the talk of the town. She catches the eye of many eligible bachelors, but it is Sir Harry who she falls in love with. The two become engaged, but their happiness is short-lived when Sir Harry's family objects to the match. Agnes is heartbroken, but she refuses to give up on her love for Sir Harry. She sets out to prove herself worthy of his family's approval and eventually succeeds. Agnes and Sir Harry are married and live happily ever after. Agnes Surriage is a tale of love, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit.
