Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Horace Lamb runs an austere household with tyrannical force and cruel economy. His five children shiver through the winter and learn that a fire is not a thing to be taken for granted. Hierarchies are more lightly enforced in the servants' quarters, where Bullivant and Mrs Selden attempt to rein in their young charges. When Horace suddenly turns attentive and caring, the real difficulties begin: the taut order of the household slackens, setting loose old grievances.Her own favourite among her novels, Manservant and Maidservant is Ivy Compton-Burnett at her laceratingly witty best.'Original, artful and elegant. To read her for the first time is a singular experience' - Hilary Mantel A ruthless satire of power struggles and petty economies, Manservant and Maidservant exposes the violence and cruelty at the core of Victorian family life. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

FIRST EDITION OF THE NOVEL PUBLISHED IN THE US AS A HOUSE AND ITS HEAD. "Manservant and Maidservant is among the funniest and most surprising of Compton-Burnett's inventions. It focuses on the household of Horace Lamb, sadist, skinflint, and tyrant, a man whose children fear and hate him and whose wife is planning to elope [with Horace's cousin.] But it is when Horace undergoes an altogether unforeseeable change of heart that the real difficulties begin. Is the repentant master a victim along with his sometime slaves? What compensation, or consolation, can there be for the wrongs that have been done?" - NYRB Classics.

Original Blue Cloth Hardback. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1947. 301pp. Dame Ivy Compton-Burnett (1884-1969) was an English novelist. She was awarded the 1955 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for her novel 'Mother and Son'. Her works consist mainly of dialogue and focus on family life among the late Victorian or Edwardian upper middle class. "'Manservant and Maidservant' is considered one of her most humerous works, featuring the butler Bullivant. At once the strangest and most marvelous of Ivy Compton-Burnett's fictions, Manservant and Maidservant has for its subject the domestic life of Horace Lamb, sadist, skinflint, and tyrant. But it is when Horace undergoes an altogether unforeseeable change of heart that the real difficulties begin. Is the repentant master a victim along with the former slave? And how can anyone endure the memory of the wrongs that have been done?" The book is in excellent condition with a name and date to the top of the ffep. The unclipped dust jacket is slightly loose. Its spine is slightly sunned and there is light-moderate foxing/soiling all over. There are two small tears to the sop of the spine. The dustwrapper is in an easily removed clear plastic protective cover.
