Melodrama in Contemporary Film and Television cover

Melodrama in Contemporary Film and Television debates the ways in which melodrama expresses and gives meaning to: trauma and pathos; memory and historical re-visioning; home and borders; gendered and queer relations; the family and psychic identities; the national and emerging public cultures; and morality and ethics.

“Stewart’s collection highlights the significance of melodrama in film and TV and its ability to move its audiences not only emotionally but also politically. This book constitutes a thoughtful and eclectic contribution to the field.” (Kristyn Gorton, Critical Studies in Television The International Journal of Television Studies, Vol. 12 (1), 2017)
