- Summary
- This volume investigates the diverse applications and conceptions of the term 'The Golden Age'. The Golden Age and nostalgia are related ideas, but are also partly in conflict with one another, as many nostalgic sentiments are not idealised, and may indeed be dark, ironic or self-aware. The Golden Age is also often used to refer to specific, respected periods of cultural production in all kinds of literature and visual media. This collection interrogates the notion of the Golden Age and its connection to feelings of nostalgia from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives, with a strong focus on the relationship between word and image. It will interest scholars working on the subject of the Golden Age/nostalgia, particularly in English literature, film studies, comics studies, history, and the fine arts.
