From Mrs Peel to the first female Doctor Who, this book offers a timely focus on the popular phenomenon of the cult TV heroine. The enduring phenomenon of cult TV itself is carefully explored through questions of genre, the role of the audience and the external environment of technological advances and business drivers. Catriona Miller then suggests a fresh account of the psychological dimension of the phenomenon utilising Carl Jung”s concepts of the transcendent function and active imagination.
Her analysis of the heroines themselves considers the workings of the audio-visual text alongside narrative and character arcs, exploring the complex and contradictory ways in which the heroines are represented. Established cult TV favourites such as
Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
The X Files, and
Xena: Warrior Princess are examined alongside more recent shows such as
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,
Jessica Jones and
American Horror Story: Coven.
