my favourite costume dramas - escapism, queer spaces and the female gaze

on today's ep of 'still not a book channel'... some films! I have a massive soft spot for costume dramas so here are some of my faves. Not a totally comprehensive list but if you haven't seen these... what are you waiting for? Never has there been a better time to escape far off in pretty dresses to a remote castle and enjoy your bitter rivalry with the son of a family you've had to unite with when your lands are threatened by something bigger than your petty squabbles - EA x
