Her book about her experiences in domestic service, ''Below Stairs'', became a best-seller and she went on to write other books and became a television personality. ''Below Stairs'' was an impetus for ''Upstairs, Downstairs'' and the basis of ''Beryl's Lot'', and is one of the inspirations of ''Downton Abbey''. ==Early life and domestic service== Margaret Langley's father was seasonally employed as a house painter, and her mother was a charwoman. Her parents and her grandmother lived in three rooms in Hove, Sussex, and she had six siblings. When she was 13 and won a scholarship to grammar school, her parents could not afford to allow her to take it up.〔("Why downstairs HATED upstairs: The acerbic memoirs of a Twenties maid reveal what domestic staff REALLY thought of their masters" ), excerpts from Margaret Powell, ''Below Stairs'', ''Daily Mail'', 25 February 2011.〕〔Kathryn Hughes, ("Maid in England: Margaret Powell's Below Stairs recalls a life in service between the first and second world wars" ), Rereading, ''The Guardian'', 19 August 2011.〕〔James Fenton, ("The Abbey That Jumped the Shark" ), ''The New York Review of Books'', 8 March 2012.〕〔Elizabeth Lowry, ("What the Help Really Saw: A true tale of a life in domestic service puts the lie to television's whitewashed versions" ), Bookshelf, ''The Wall Street Journal'', 14 January 2012.〕 She went to work in a laundry until she was 15 and became a maid, first locally and a year later in London. Since she had experience cooking at home and hated needlework, she became a kitchen maid instead of an under-housemaid, a slightly more prestigious position.〔 She then "lied () way" into a job as a cook at a different house.〔 After "set() about (a husband ) as if it were an extra household duty, like hulling five pounds of strawberries or mopping the linoleum floor",〔 she escaped domestic service by marrying a milkman, Albert Powell,〔Jane McLoughlin, ("Upstairs, Downstairs" ), ''The Christian Science Monitor'', 29 January 1974 (pay per view)〕 leaving "with an enormous sense of inferiority and the ability to cook a seven-course dinner."〔 When her three sons were in grammar school, towards the end of the Second World War, she became a maid once more. Eventually, "when I realised I had nothing to talk about with my eldest son, who was preparing to go to university", she took evening school courses in philosophy, history and literature, passed her O-levels at 58, and went on to A-levels, passing the English A-level in 1969.〔〔("Authoress dies" ), ''The Glasgow Herald'', 26 April 1984.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margaret Powell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
