Description:Menials argues that British writers of the long-eighteenth century projected their era's economic and social anxieties onto domestic servants. Confronting the emergence of controversial principles like self-interest, emulation, and luxury, writers from Eliza Haywood, Daniel Defoe, and Samuel Richardson to Mary Shelley, Charles Dickens, and William Thackeray used literary servants to critique what they saw as problematic economic and social practices. A cultural history of economic ideology as well as a literary history of domestic service, Menials traces the role of the domestic servant as a representation of the relationship between the master's ideal self and the cultural forces that threaten it.-- "Eighteenth Century Intelligencer"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
