Rape in Period Drama Television considers the representation of
rape and rape myths in a number of the most influential recent
television period dramas. Like the corset, has become a shorthand
for women's oppression in the past. Sexual violence has long been,
and still is, commonplace in television period drama, often used to
add authenticity and realism to shows or as a sensationalist means
of chasing ratings. However, the authors illustrate that the
depiction of rape is more than a mere reminder that the past was a
dangerous place for women (and some men). In these series, they
argue, rape functions as a kind of "anti-heritage" device that
dispels the nostalgia usually associated with period television and
reflects back on the current cultural moment, in which the #MeToo
and #Timesup movement have increased awareness of the prevalence of
sexual abuse, but in which legal and political processes have not
yet caught up. In doing so, Rape in Period Drama Television sets
out to explore the assumptions and beliefs which audiences continue
to hold about rape, rapists, and victims.
