Descriere completă

As slavery tore at the nation in the nineteenth century, the role of servants and slaves within the family became a heated topic. In this book, Barbara Ryan charts shifts in thinking about what made a good servant and how servants felt about serving non-kin, as well as changing ideas about gender, free and un-free labour, status, race, domesticity, and family life. Paying particular attention to women servants, Ryan traces the "servant problem" as it was represented in magazines like the Atlantic Monthly, Godey's Lady's Book, and Harper's Bazar. Her wide-ranging probe also culls commentary from advice literature, letters and diaries, pro- and anti-slavery propaganda, sentimental fiction, and memoirs of communitarian reform. Barbara Ryan is an associate professor in the University Scholars Programme at the National University of Singapore.
