    Introduction : Maria Edgeworth, Elizabeth Gaskell, and servants in the "good old days" -- Servants and paternalism -- "Standing in distress between tragedy and comedy" : servants in Maria Edgeworth's English domestic fiction -- "Submitting to fate" : servants in Gaskell's domestic fiction -- "True and loyal to the family" : servants in Maria Edgeworth's Irish novels -- "Mutual duties" : servants and labor relations in Gaskell's "condition of England" novels -- Conclusion : "well done thou good and faithful servant."

    Writing 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. Julie Nash 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, among others
