Premodern Rulers and Postmodern Viewers: Gender, Sex, and Power in Popular Culture by Janice North, Karl C. Alvestad, Elena Woodacre
Requirements: .PDF reader, 4.5 MB
Overview: Pop culture portrayals of medieval and early modern monarchs are rife with tension between authenticity and modern mores, producing anachronisms such as a feminist Queen Isabel (in RTVE’s Isabel) and a lesbian Queen Christina (in The Girl King). This book examines these anachronisms as a dialogue between premodern and postmodern ideas about gender and sexuality, raising questions of intertemporality, the interpretation of history, and the dangers of presentism.
