Victorianists! I'm looking for a substitute to "Agnes Gray" to teach next semester. Can anyone recommend something that addresses the Victorian class system and looks at domestic servitude in particular?

Did I buy a spooky dress to teach Gothic texts in? Why yes, yes I did. Channelling Ms Frizzle today from the Magic School Bus by wearing the topic of my class, felt this was pretty appropriate for teaching Walpole's The Castle of Otranto

@JFennellAuthor I just heard about that this morning from my students who had to get taxis to come to class. The 310 is the Dublin Bus and runs from annacotty to UL to the city in case anyone is desperate!

This August, I take on my biggest challenge to date a 1200km+ run up and down the length of Ireland. I'm doing this for 2 charities close to most families in Ireand, the Irish Heart Foundation, and the Irish Cancer Society.
