520 8  What is the nature of the relationship between the 
       Hollywood Western and American frontier mythology? How 
       have Western films helped develop cultural and historical 
       perceptions, attitudes and beliefs towards the frontier? 
       Is there still a place for the genre in light of 
       revisionist histories of the American West? This book re-
       invigorates the debate surrounding the relationship 
       between the Western and frontier mythology, arguing for 
       the importance of the genre's socio-cultural, historical 
       and political dimensions. Taking a number of critical-
       theoretical and philosophical approaches, Matthew Carter 
       applies them to prominent forms of frontier 
       historiography. He also considers the historiographic 
       element of the Western by exploring the different ways in 
       which the genre has responded to the issues raised by the 
       frontier. Carter skilfully argues that the genre has and 
       continues to reveal the complexities and contradictions at
       the heart of US society. With its clear analyses of and 
       intellectual challenges to the film scholarship that has 
       developed around the Western over a sixty-five year period,
       this book adds new depth to our understanding of specific 
       film texts and of the genre as a whole.
