The Western

Inside Film is a film book series on major cinematic movements, eras and genres, as well as key national cinemas. It aims, through its simple structure and accessible approach, to provide a first point of reference for all those interested in film. The Western provides a clear, precise and engaging overview of The Western, from The Great Train Robbery (1903) to contemporary Westerns such as Dances With Wolves (1990) and Unforgiven (1992). Almost uniquely, The Western manages to organize and make sense of the monumental scope of the theoretical and historical work on the genre so that it is comprehensible to novices and still intellectually stimulating for experts.
