Publisher's Synopsis

Explores the ways in which servant-master relationships reshaped literature. Rivlin shows that service is fundamentally a representational practice, in which the servant who acts for a master merges with the servant who acts as a master. Rivlin argues that in the early modern period, servants found new positions as subjects and authors found new forms of literature.
