Questions on the Era & on HathiTrust

[Susan]

I have some questions:

1) Do any of you know of books, poems or short stories with domestic help as the protagonist (e.g. a footman, butler, maid, cook, etc.)? The book needn't be in English.

2) Do any of you use the digital library HathiTrust? If so what have you used it for? How often have you used it?

P G Wodehouse stories about Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves spring to mind.

These reviews may help:

The Remains of the Day - one of my all time favorites.

I use the Hathi Digital Trust for research into the Royal Society. They have the minutes of early meetings online.
