Perhaps the most sophisticated and complex of shows in HBO's recent
history, Deadwood has surprisingly little coverage in our current
scholarship. Grounding contemporary anxieties about race and class,
domesticity and American exceptionalism in its nineteenth-century
setting, Deadwood revises our understanding of a formative period
for the American nation through a re-examination of one of the main
genres through which this national story has been transmitted: the
Western. With contributions from scholars in American studies,
literature, and film and television studies, The Last Western
situates Deadwood in the context of both its nineteenth-century
setting and its twenty-first-century audience. Together, these
essays argue for the series as a provocative meditation on both the
state and historical formation of U.S. empire, examining its
treatment of sovereign power and political legitimacy, capital
accumulation and dispossession, racial and gender identities, and
social and family structures, while attending to the series'
peculiar and evocative aesthetic forms. What emerges from this
collection is the impressive range of Deadwood's often
contradictory engagement with both nineteenth and twenty-first
century America.
