Servants and Paternalism in the Works of Maria Edgeworth and Elizabeth Gaskell (The\nineteenth Century Ser.)
by Julie NashWriting during periods of dramatic social change, Maria Edgeworth and Elizabeth Gaskell were both attracted to the idea of radical societal transformation at the same time that their writings express nostalgia for a traditional, paternalistic ruling class. The author shows how this tension is played out especially through the characters of servants in short fiction and novels such as Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent, Belinda, and Helen and Gaskell's North and South and Cranford. Servant characters, the author contends, enable these writers to give voice to the contradictions inherent in the popular paternalistic philosophy of their times because the situation of domestic servitude itself embodies such inconsistencies. Servants, whose labor was essential to the economic and social function of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British society, made up the largest category of workers in England by the nineteenth century and yet were expected to be socially invisible. At the same time, they lived in the same houses as their masters and mistresses and were privy to the most intimate details of their lives. Both Edgeworth and Gaskell created servant characters who challenge the social hierarchy, thus exposing the potential for dehumanization and corruption inherent in the paternalistic philosophy. the author's study opens up important avenues for future scholars of women's fiction in the nineteenth century.
The Servants' Quarters

When disfigured soldier George Harding returns from the front, he moves a poor family into the servant&’s quarters of his family&’s South African estate, saving them from financial ruin—and initiating a series of events that will change all of their fates forever. Among the new tenants at Harding&’s Rest is Cressida, a young girl haunted by phantoms of World War II and the Holocaust, and terrified by Harding&’s gnarled body. Invited to the main house to help bring Harding&’s hopelessly timid nephew out of his shell, Cressida makes an impression on her family&’s benefactor. As she blossoms into womanhood, Cressida slowly becomes beguiled by what once repulsed her, in this strange and beautiful decades-spanning novel that &“blends Dickensian musings on class with a Brontë-like love story&” (San Francisco Chronicle). &“Cressida, a young girl who watches those around her patch up their wounds from the war and carry on with the weight of pretense, is as observant and as wickedly truthful as any Jane Austen character.&” —Amy Tan
