From the saloon to the cattle trail, gunslinging outlaws to ferocious Indians, The Rough Guide to Westerns is the ultimate companion to the genre that has, since the birth of cinema, fed our fascination with the Wild West.
• The origins: How the myth of the West was shaped as much by entertainers like Buffalo Bill and James Fenimore Cooper as by real-life figures like Wyatt Earp and Billy the Kid.
• The history: From the silent era, through 50s box-office domination, to spaghetti and 21st-century Westerns.
• The canon: 50 essential Westerns, including Stagecoach, Once Upon A Time In The West, High Noon and The Searchers.
• The icons: Profiles of legends such as John Wayne, John Ford, Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood and Gary Cooper.
• And the rest: Westerns from around the world, archetypal characters, iconic locations, and the best books, magazines and websites. |
