Grounded in cultural studies, film studies, and adaptation theory, the book\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eexamines how these works represented the eighteenth century to assuage anxieties about values, systems, and institutions at the start of a new millennium. The first two chapters reveal how films like \u003ci\u003eGulliver’s Travels\u003c\/i\u003e (2010) or the remake of \u003ci\u003ePoldark \u003c\/i\u003e(2015) use history to establish the direct relationship between the eighteenth century and the twenty-first. The final chapters examine pairs of productions for how they address and legitimate different aspects of contemporary ideology such as attitudes toward race and gender, or the connection between technological and social progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-08-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319858708\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-56267-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 134\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47696822993036,"sku":"9783319858708","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319858708_9be3c6a7-8eae-4f3e-9077-3951d1c721a8.jpg?v=1776778026","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319858708","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
