Westerns Making the Man in Fiction and Film
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Univ of Chicago Pr
- Publish date: 11/01/1996
Description:
Ranging from the novels of James Fenimore Cooper to Zane Grey, and from classic films like High Noon to spaghetti Westerns like The Wild Bunch, Mitchell shows how Westerns helped assuage a series of crises in American culture. At the same time, Westerns have addressed issues of masculinity by setting them against various backdrops: gender, maturation, honor, and self-transformation. In Westerns, a male must continually work at being a man.
