Description

Exploring how 18th-century forms and narrative are taken-up, recycled and re-visioned in contemporary media, this book asks which histories are told and by whom. Through essays from international and multidisciplinary scholars and interviews with industry professionals, The 18th Century Today asks what function modern media performs when depicting the 18th century in our current world. Can such works speak to perceived 18th-century ideas and values and, simultaneously, the shifting paradigms of our own time? How, and why, should we engage? Highlighting how contemporary depictions of the past give marginalised lives greater visibility, the role genre plays in re-enacting or re-interpreting 18th-century culture, and the potential for modern adaptation to transmute and transcend historical suffering, the essays in this volume dig into adaptation across theatre, film, prose fiction, television and games. Covering works such as The Great, Belle, Bridgerton and Black Sails among many others, this book is both reflection and celebration, an acknowledgement of the 18th century’s traumatic legacies alongside a sense of contemporary culture’s capacity for transformation, renewal and justice.
