In addition, Neo-Victorian Villains examines a number of supposedly villainous types, from the spirit medium and the femme fatale to the imperial ?native? and the ventriloquist, and traces their development from Victorian times today. Chapters analyse recent theatre, films and television ? from Ripper Street to Marvel superhero movies ? as well as classic Hollywood depictions of Victorian villains. In a wide-ranging opening chapter, Benjamin Poore assesses the legacy of nineteenth-century ideas of villains and villainy in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
