“Such a wonderful book. Servants, a downstairs view of 20th century Britain.”
Sentiment: Highly Recommended
Trigger: servants in Downton Abbey
For: Readers interested in social history and the realities of servant life.
Key quote: “And that's what you don't get in Downton Abbey.”
The host mentions 'Servants: A Downstairs View of 20th Century Britain' to highlight the stark contrast between the romanticized portrayal of servants in 'Downton Abbey' and the harsh realities they faced. The book provides a detailed account of the struggles and identities of servants, which are often overlooked in popular media.
