Welcome to “Downton Abbey” AB - Edwardian Corsets for the New Times. Welcome to “Downton Abbey” “Downton Abbey” tv series, which has broken popularity records and earned much acclaim has recently come to an end. The article aims to explore to what extent the antiquarian form and the conservative content of the series continues in the tradition of heritage movies, or else it offers a post-heritage escapist fantasy more firmly inbedded in the commercialised reality of corporate entertainment. It also attempts to pinpoint the relationships of the tv series to the wider popcultural trend of the Victorian and Edwardian nostalgia.   VL - 2016 IS - Volume 59, Issue 1 (225) PY - 2016 SN - 0555-0025 C1 - 2299-6362 SP - 108 EP - 122 DO - 10.4467/2299-6362PZ.16.008.5185 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/zeszyty-prasoznawcze/article/edwardianskie-gorsety-na-nowe-czasy-w-goscinie-w-downton-abbey KW - historical tv series KW - heritage fim KW - post-victorianism KW - conservatism KW - nostalgia
