The BBC television series Downton Abbey (2010-2016) developed and
produced by Academy Award winner Julian Fellowes, became a cultural
barometer with American viewers harkening back to the days when
televised serial dramas ruled the airwaves. The series finale was
one of the most-watched in television history. Exploring Downton
Abbey is a collection of scholarly essays, written by both British
and American scholars, that interrogate this cultural
phenomenon-the essays challenge readers to explore how and why this
British television serial about life upstairs and downstairs in a
British, turn-of-the-century manor home resonates with American
audiences, focusing on topics as diverse as the role of the house
(Highclere Castle) in literature and film; the changing roles of
women and the servant class; the influence of jazz and fashion; and
the attitudes toward education and the class system within the
series.
