As one who planned her life on Upstairs/Downstairs and Downton Abbey, I've always been fascinated with the role of servants in the Edwardian period. (And before and after but that is one of my favorites.) Those series brought the characters to life and your post really illuminates the skills required to serve in those roles.<br /><br />As you might expect, one of my favorite television series' long ago was "The Duchess of Duke Street." I read the "Jermyn Street" book but didn't know "Vile Bodies" was the basis. Another book to add to the list. <br /><br />Thanks for a wonderful post, Dany! Sending beautiful Easter wishes your way.<br />Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780738657147797732.post-50512537328520653182017-04-12T19:15:53.489+02:002017-04-12T19:15:53.489+02:00Carissima Dany, è un post davvero interessante! Mi...Carissima Dany, è un post davvero interessante! Mi è venuta una gran voglia di vedere la serie Tv di cui scrivi! Ho letto il libro di Judith Flanders: è pieno di informazioni a riguardo. Negli ultimi anni Downton Abbey ha suscitato un grande interesse sull'argomento ma è inutile dire che ha mostrato solo l'aspetto più romantico e poco vero rispetto alle vere condizioni di vita della servitù. <br />Con l'occasione ti invio affettuosi auguri di una Serena e Santa Pasqua.
