Key quote: “And the best book I've ever read on this, by far, is a book called Servants, a Downstairs View of 20th Century Britain by the historian, Lucy Lethbridge.”
The host mentions 'Servants, a Downstairs View of 20th Century Britain' to provide a more accurate portrayal of life for servants in Edwardian stately homes, contrasting it with the dramatized version presented in Downton Abbey. The book is highlighted as a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of the master-servant relationship during that era.
