| Sammanfattning: | This is a book about one servant and one master and the changing shape of
their relationship, lived out in the time and place of the ‘making of the English
working class’, the industrial West Riding of Yorkshire. It covers the period
from about 1785 when Phoebe Beatson first came to the service of the Reverend
John Murgatroyd of Slaithwaite, just outside Huddersfield, to the first decade
of the new century, after she had borne her illegitimate child, scandalously, in a
clergyman’s house. The Anglican God whom Murgatroyd served and promoted
throughout his very long life changed His shape and form during these years
of war, dearth, revolution and counter-revolution; church and state, the law
and its practice, redefined the service relationship, and the human and social
relationship ‘service’ inscribed. Here, in what follows, we have one tiny birth
pang of modern, industrial society, and some of the minute shifts and stratagems
of feeling that countless individuals undertook, in making themselves subjects
of modernity. |
