What if we were to say that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a Modern Medieval text, and that Buffy is a modern day saint, where 'saint' does not necessarily imply religion or notions of faith, but rather someone who has had a lasting impact on the people, culture & society around them? Or what about Twin Peaks' Laura Palmer? Penny Dreadful's Vanessa Ives?
Intrigued?
Then tune in this week to hear co-Host Meaghan Allen discuss her future PhD research on all things Buffy, Gothic-Horror and the Medieval by examining the connections between medieval saints' lives and modern day Final Girl "victim-heroes".
