Join Francesca Lewis and Veronica Heney for a discussion of representations of madness in historical biopics of royal women. The seminar will bring together three recent films, Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favourite (2018), Marie Kreutzer's Corsage (2022), and Pablo Larrain's Spencer (2021), to ask how these royal women are re-imagined in light of these biopics' reappraisal of their trauma, their confining circumstances, and their mental distress.
