Through a winning combination of painstaking research and insightful readings, Servants and the Gothic, 1764-1831 appraises the importance of the too-often ignored servant in the first wave of Gothic writing. Focusing upon both fiction and theatre, Hudson's work delightfully supplies the other part of the 'half-told tale.' For anyone interested in the rise of the Gothic in the eighteenth-century and Romantic novel, this book will be an essential read. --Angela Wright, University of Sheffield Servants and the Gothic offers a fresh, engaging perspective on the genre. By drawing attention to the liminal, often oppositional voices of servant characters in a range of novels, plays, and bluebooks, it illuminates the Gothic's narrative bricolage and its interrogation of established social and literary structures. --Deborah Russell, University of York

Author Information

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.
