In The Labors of Modernism, Wilson analyzes the unrecognized role of domestic servants in the experimental forms and narratives of Modernist fiction by Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, Nella Larsen and Jean Rhys. She shows that the liminal position of servants in these texts forces the reader to recognize servants not just as characters.
