This book, situated in the regional and chronological epicentre of E. P. Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, focuses on the relationship between a Church of England clergyman (the Master of the title) and his pregnant maidservant in the late eighteenth century. This case-study of people behaving in ways quite contrary to the standard historical account sheds new light on the much wider historical questions of Anglicanism as social thought, the economic history of the industrial revolution, domestic service, the poor law, literacy, education, and the very making of the English working class. It offers a unique meditation on the relationship between history and literature and will be of interest to scholars and students of industrial England, social and cultural history and English literature.Cambridge social and cultural histories ;10.Household employees in literatureEngland18th centuryMaster and servant in literatureLaborEnglandHistory19th centuryMaster and servantEnglandHistory19th centuryIndustrial revolutionEnglandHistory19th centuryGreat BritainSocial conditions19th centuryHousehold employees in literatureMaster and servant in literature.LaborHistoryMaster and servantHistoryIndustrial revolutionHistory640.46094209034Steedman Carolyn676280MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811791903321Master and servant4107530UNINA
