Neo-Victorian Gothic fictions like Penny Dreadful represent masculinity at its darkest, Poldark and Outlander have refashioned the romantic hero and anti-heritage series like Peaky Blinders portray masculinity in crisis, at moments when the patriarchy was being bombarded by forces like World War I, the rise of first wave feminism and the breakdown of Empire. Scholars of film, media, literature and history explore the very different types of maleness offered by contemporary television and show how the intersection of class, race, history and masculinity in period dramas has come to hold such broad appeal to twenty-first-century audiences."--Provided by publisher.Library of gender and popular culture ;22.Men in television period dramaHistory on televisionMasculinity on televisionTelevisionHistory on television.Masculinity on television.791.45/70811Byrne Katherine1978-Leggott JamesTaddeo Julie AnneBloomsbury (Firm),YDXCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910793566703321Conflicting masculinities3731221UNINA
