Hints to Servants Being a Poetical and Modernised Version of Dean Swift's Celebrated "Directions to Servants"
Published in 1843, this series of humorous and descriptive poems about life as a servant on a rural English estate was written by an actual servant called John Jones who took it upon himself to self-educate by reading and writing poetry during his leisure time. Eventually, he sent some work to poet Robert Southey - friend of Wordsworth and Coleridge, among others - who helped publish a few of the house servant’s works starting in 1831.
