Index. 330 $aThis book broadens the scope of inquiry of neo-Victorian studies by focusing primarily on screen adaptations and appropriations of Victorian literature and culture. More specifically, this monograph spotlights the overlapping yet often conflicting drives at work in representations of Victorian heroines in contemporary film and TV. Primorac?s close analyses of screen representations of Victorian women pay special attention to the use of costume and clothes, revealing the tensions between diverse theoretical interventions and generic (often market-oriented) demands. The author elucidates the push and pull between postcolonial critique and nostalgic, often Orientalist spectacle; between feminist textual interventions and postfeminist media images. Furthermore, this book examines neo-Victorianism?s relationship with postfeminist media culture and offers an analysis of the politics behind onscreen treatment of Victorian gender roles, family structures, sexuality, and colonial space. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Adaptation and Visual Culture,$x2634-629X 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aLiterature, Modern?19th century 606 $aGreat Britain?History 606 $aEthnology?Europe 606 $aAdaptation Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413180 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/821000 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 606 $aBritish Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411050 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?19th century. 615 0$aGreat Britain?History. 615 0$aEthnology?Europe. 615 14$aAdaptation Studies. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aBritish Culture. 676 $a791.436522 700 $aPrimorac$b Antonija$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0964620 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299998103321 996 $aNeo-Victorianism on Screen$92188554 997 $aUNINA
