- The research for Myth of the Western spanned eight years and was supported by an ECCLES Centre Award (2006–7), which included a residency at the British Library. Standing at 110,000 words, the monograph comprises five chapters and an extended introduction and conclusion. It re-examines an established discourse of film criticism, which developed out of decades of critical and theoretical conventions, to map an alternative history and theoretical framework for thinking about the Western. Furthermore, it draws upon and expands the work of underappreciated and neglected scholars to develop a new means for thinking about the Western from so-called non-evolutionary perspectives.
