Leading historian Carolyn Steedman offers a fascinating and
compelling account of love, life and domestic service in
eighteenth-century England. The 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.
