Katherine Byrne 
Edwardians on Screen 
From Downton Abbey to Parade’s End

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.
