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.
