Edwardians on Screen cover

This book explores television's current fascination with the Edwardian era. By exploring popular period dramas such as Downton Abbey , it examines how the early twentieth century is represented on our screens, and what these shows tell us about class, gender and politics, both past and present.

'This timely book contributes handsomely to debates about heritage television, commemoration cultures, and historical fiction more generally. It traces contemporary obsession with the Edwardians in judicious, thoughtful, and innovative ways.' - Jerome de Groot, University of Manchester, UK
