This 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.
