- After an extended period as one of the most prolific Hollywood genres, the Western entered its ‘afterlife’. This substantial monograph (236pp.) asks what does it now mean for a Hollywood movie to be a Western? It considers the conditions in which the Western has found itself since the 1980s, the latter-day associations that the genre has acquired and the strategies that more recent Westerns have developed in response to their changed context. An important point of reference on the Western, it also extends a number of areas of genre theory more broadly.
