Review Quotes
Deborah Russell, University of York
“Servants and the Gothic offers a fresh, engaging perspective on the genre. By drawing attention to the liminal, often oppositional voices of servant characters in a range of novels, plays, and bluebooks, it illuminates the Gothic’s narrative bricolage and its interrogation of established social and literary structures.”
Angela Wright, University of Sheffield
“Through a winning combination of painstaking research and insightful readings, Servants and the Gothic, 1764–1831 appraises the importance of the too-often ignored servant in the first wave of Gothic writing. Focusing upon both fiction and theatre, Hudson’s work delightfully supplies the other part of the ‘half-told tale.’ For anyone interested in the rise of the Gothic in the eighteenth-century and Romantic novel, this book will be an essential read.”
