One is tempted to respond that it is only a television show. But as the occasional author of historical fiction, I feel the need to say a word in explanation of the genre. Let’s start with the benevolence of the Grantham family, an aspect of the show that seems to stick in D’Addario’s craw. Thomas, a footman who turns out to be gay, is not prosecuted, or even dismissed. A cook who needs eye surgery finds her employers eager to pay. D’Addario calls these counter-factuals, although it is difficult to know what facts he has in mind. In the case of Thomas, for instance, he tells us that homosexual conduct was illegal in Britain at the time. Fair point. (In many parts of the old empire, it’s illegal still.) To be gay, even closeted, in the U.K. between the world wars was to be terrified of prosecution or worse.
