Ride the Frontier
Exploring the Myth of the American West on Screen
With fresh appraisals of popular Westerns, this book examines the history of the genre with a focus on definitional aspects
of canon, adaptation and hybridity. The author covers a range of largely unexplored topics, including the role of "heroines" in a (supposedly) male-oriented system of film production, the function of
the celluloid Indians, the transcultural and transnational history of the first spaghetti Western, the construction of femininity
and masculinity in the hybrid Westerns of the 1950s, and the new paths of the Western in 21st century. Les mer
