Using the testimony of 1,500 individual servants alive in a distinct phase of English history, the book brings to life: household relations; sex and slander; life cycle; working conditions; and wages, perks and tips for diverse servants. It addresses the controversies over the early modern family and the myth of separate spheres. Its broad scope encompasses histories of privacy, desire and social relations, of cultures of work, and of moral economics of service." "Integrating the latest social and cultural histories. this books shows how thousands of men and women got their living within the households of the sometimes turbulent, always vibrant world of England's capital city."--BOOK JACKET.
