Synopsis
Servitude: A Poem. To Which Is Prefix'D An Introduction, Also A Postscript By D. Defoe. Written By A Footman R. Dodsley — Robert Dodsley. This compendious work, issued as a satirical tract in the early modern period, combines an Introduction addressed to masters and mistresses with a postscript and a concluding verse-piece. The Introduction argues that humanity should temper masterly authority and that servants are fellow beings with rightful faculties, passions, and desires, deserving humane treatment and fair consideration. It outlines a code of conduct for servants, enumerating virtues such as honesty, carefulness, obedience, diligence, submission to rebukes, neatness, and discretion, framed as duties that bind both master and servant in a mutual prudence and respect. The accompanying poem and the Postscript further explore these themes, using witty, didactic verse and prose to critique harshness, vanity, and social pretensions. The text offers a historical lens on labor ethics, class dynamics, and the moral economy of servitude, presented through meditation, satire, and practical instruction.
