This volume provides readers with a comprehensive literary and historical basis for understanding servant characters and servant narratives in the early Gothic mode.

This study recasts servant characters within the early Gothic mode as 'narrators' who verbally or non-verbally perform dialogue, moral insights and folkloric or gossip-based stories.

Produktbeschreibung
This volume provides readers with a comprehensive literary and historical basis for understanding servant characters and servant narratives in the early Gothic mode. Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, servants were 'othered' figures whose voices had the potential to undermine socio-political and personal identity. This study recasts servant characters within the early Gothic mode as 'narrators' who verbally or non-verbally perform dialogue, moral insights and folkloric or gossip-based stories. Examining the development of servant narrative within the early Gothic mode, Servants and the Gothic outlines the socio-historical and literary influences which defined the servant voice during the eighteenth century, as well as identifying and expanding upon the ways in which servant narratives contributed to each author's unique goals. It redefines servant narratives as a Gothic 'performance', a self-conscious self-examination of the ways in which a Gothic narrative impacts literary, social and personal identity.

Autorenporträt
This work is appropriate for students and academics with an interest in narrative theory, Gothic literature, and eighteenth and nineteenth century fiction, culture, and literary practice. While addressing a relatively specific area of critical inquiry, this work would be useful for a number of university courses and research tracks focused on the Gothic, Romanticism, and eighteenth and nineteenth century literature. This work should also appeal to non-academics with an interest in Gothic studies more generally.
