A review by violetturtledove
Life Below Stairs: Domestic Servants in England from Victorian Times by Frank Edward Huggett

informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

This is fairly interesting book and a good overview of servant life, with some interesting pictures. 

This book was published in 1977 and there's a certain romanticising of the era that I don't think would be done in the same way today (plus the chapter on 'fallen women' would probably use some slightly different phrasing) but it hasn't really aged badly. In fact it benefits from being a bit closer to the era; the author was able to speak to some people who remembered the end of it.
