Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. "What the Butler Winked At" is a candid and revealing memoir written by Eric Horne, who spent over fifty years in domestic service. This work offers a rare, first-hand account of life "below stairs" during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Horne provides a sharp-eyed and often humorous perspective on the rigid social hierarchies of the British upper class, detailing the daily routines, eccentricities, and scandals of the families he served.Unlike the romanticized versions of domestic life often found in fiction, Horne's narrative provides a gritty and authentic look at the physical demands and personal sacrifices required of a high-ranking servant. The book serves as a valuable social document, capturing a vanished way of life and the intricate dynamics between masters and servants. From grand country houses to city residences, Horne describes the inner workings of elite households with wit and observational prowess. This memoir remains a cornerstone for anyone interested in British social history, class relations, and the reality of domestic service at the turn of the century.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
