I don’t know about you, but there is not a single day that goes by when I don’t wish that I had my own cook.

Or do I mean housemaid? Or scullery maid? What exactly is the difference between a footman and an under-footman, anyway, and is it true that most Regency houses had more servants for outside than inside? Whether you writing romance and need a handy maid to chaperone, you write mysteries and need a stable lad to have witnessed the murder, or you’re just trying to untangle whether a solicitor, a groundskeeper, a steward, or a man of business would collect rents, you’ve come to the right place. It’s time to talk domestic servants.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• When a shooting party would go out?
• Whether a lady would breakfast in bed or downstairs with the family?
• When a gentleman would visit his club?
• The difference between a walk, promenade, and outing?

Then this is the course for you.

Over two weeks, USA Today Bestselling Author Emily E K Murdoch will take you through this informative course focusing on the myriad domestic servants, and just how they interacted with the Regency world. This course is designed to be as accessible and intersectional as possible.

She will take you through:
