The Western Reader by Gregg Rickman is an essential guide to the Western film, this lavishly illustrated collection of writings on Western movies covers close to a century of American cinematic achievement and spans almost a half-century of essays, commentary, and interviews. Rickman explores every aspect that distinguishes the Western, especially its history, its mythology, its landscape, so that the book becomes a richly diverse collage of impressions and insights. While their subjects range from the development of the genre through the unforgettable masterpieces of Hollywood’s Golden Age to the revisionist and postmodern Westerns of our own time, the pieces are all authoritative, perceptive, thoughtful, stimulating, and skillfully written.
