Operetta
Operetta developed in the second half of the 19th century from the French opéra-comique and the more lighthearted German Singspiel.

Through pioneering analysis of the agendas of medical experts, police, socialists, feminists, legal reformers, and even serial killers, this volume puts forth a neglected history of the state of domestic service discourse at the turn of the 19th century and how it shaped and continues to shape the surveillance of women.
