I have a question about Downtown Abbey.
Downtown Abbey is a pretty good program on BBC America. However, actual research suggests that British aristocracy treated most of the domestic class like animals. In fact, I believe some hunting dogs had it much better than your typical laundry maid. Yes, the Butler and Housekeeper were treated with respect, but still, seems like this program is quite inaccurate regarding the Victorian domestic class. Maybe it's simply liberal Brit revisionist history at work again, through the auspices of 'high entertainment' by the BBC. |
