Reviews for STARZ Spartacus: Reimagining an Icon on Screen
In 1960 Kirk Douglas' Spartacus was directed toward the liberal values of its middle class audience. The contributors to this volume ably show in their analyses how half a century later both producers and viewers of STARZ Spartacus have become significantly more disparate in their aspirations, whether political or sexual.
