Description

This scholarly collection presents late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century texts documenting the experiences of female servants working in early modern London. Through domestics' court depositions, the book reveals how women servants formed an essential support system for emergent capitalism in the early modern metropolis. The texts expose the contractual foundations of domestic service for women, the considerable mobility that servants achieved within the period, and the official concerns this mobility provoked amongst authorities. Unlike traditional historical interpretations that viewed paid domestic work merely as a temporary pre-marital phase in women's lives, this volume demonstrates the economic and social significance of female servants during this transformative era. Part of The Early Modern Englishwoman series (1500-1750: Contemporary Editions), this work provides primary source material for understanding labour relations, gender, and urban life in early modern England.
