Never before has period drama offered viewers such an assortment of
complex male characters, from transported felons and syphilitic
detectives to shell shocked soldiers and gangland criminals.
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.
