You might also look at Alison Light's terrific book, MRS. WOOLF AND THE SERVANTS: AN INTIMATE HISTORY OF DOMESTIC LIFE IN BLOOMSBURY.   

I published an essay/review of the book, using it to discuss some current litigation about servants and domestic work in the US context, available here:

(also available here: https://law-cuny.academia.edu/RuthannRobson).



Best,
Ruthann
