520    This book cuts across the class boundaries of 
       traditionally separate fields of social history. It 
       investigates the social origins of servants, their incomes,
       their marriage and family patterns, their career patterns,
       their possibilities for social mobility, their political 
       activities, and their criminality. But it also 
       investigates the history of the family and domestic life 
       in France in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth 
       centuries, for servants were, at least until the rise of 
       the affectionate nuclear family in the middle of the 
       eighteenth century, considered part of the families of 
       those they served. Finally, this book is also an essay on 
       the history of social relationships in the ancient regime,
       not only those between masters and servants but also the 
       broader relationships between the ruling elite and the 
       lower classes. The introduction gives basic facts about 
       the composition of households during the Old Regime and 
       explores the attitudes and assumptions that underlay the 
       employment of servants. It also shows how both these 
       attitudes and the households themselves changed 
       dramatically in the last decades before the French 
       Revolution. Part 1 is devoted to the servants themselves. 
       One chapter deals with their lives within their employers'
       households: their work, their living conditions, their 
       socializing and leisure-time activities. A second examines
       their private lives: their social origins, marriage and 
       family patterns, their moneymaking and their criminality. 
       And a third explores their relationships with and 
       attitudes toward their masters. In part 2, the focus 
       shifts to an examination of master-servant relationships 
       from the masters' point of view. The first chapter deals 
       with master-servant relationships in general by discussing
       the factors that determined how employers treated their 
       domestics. The second and third chapters explore two 
       special relationships: masters' sexual relationships with 
       their servants and their relationships with the servants 
       who cared for them in childhood. The epilogue traces the 
       impact of the French Revolution on domestic service and 
       sketches some of the changes in the household that were to
       come in the nineteenth century.
