Edited by Sue Matheson

Paperback / softback

Description

After a century of reinvention and reinterpretation, Western movies continue to contribute to the cultural understanding of the United States.

Western archetypes remain important emblems of the American experience, relating a complex and coded narrative about heroism and morality, masculinity and femininity, westward expansion and technological progress, and assimilation and settlement.

In this collection of new essays, 21 contributors from around the globe examine the “cowboy cool” iconography of film and television Westerns—from bounty hunters in buckskin jackets to the seedy saloons and lonely deserts.
