«Nunca delante de los criados» is the social history essay by Frank Victor Dawes, published by Periférica in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
In 1972 Frank Victor Dawes asked the Daily Telegraph for letters from those who had worked in domestic service; the massive response gave rise to this portrait of a hundred years of work in English households. With testimonies from maids, butlers, governesses, cooks, footmen and employers, it shows the harshness, codes of invisibility and classism of that working relationship.
Volume 8 of the Fuera de serie collection. Translation by Ángeles de los Santos. The original English work was published in 1973.
For readers of social history and for those who want to know the reality of domestic service against the idealization of series such as Downton Abbey or Upstairs, Downstairs.
