Manservant and Maidservant

"[A] new edition of MANSERVANT AND MAIDSERVANT may be for many readers an introduction to the works of this fascinating novelist....Her stylized repartee can remind one of Oscar Wilde, and is more directly the forebear of, say, Harold Pinter, than of the British novels of today....The utterances in her work that were first received as witty asperities are in fact revelations of a world of pain and cruelty that few writers have dealt with so straightforwardly."Compton-Burnett, Ivy is the author of 'Manservant and Maidservant' with ISBN 9780940322639 and ISBN 0940322633.
