Opis

The Western provides a clear overview of the genre, from The Great Train Robbery (1903) to contemporary westerns such as Dances with Wolves (1990), Unforgiven (1992) and The Newton Boys (1998). The text manages to organize and make sense of the monumental scope of the theoretical and historical work on the genre so that it is comprehensible to novices and still intellectually stimulating for experts.
