Western films are often considered sprawling reflections of the
American spirit. This book analyzes the archetypes, themes, and
figures within the principal mythology of the western frontier.
Western themes are interpreted as expressions of cultural needs
that perform specific psychological functions for the audience. The
chapters are devoted to the frontier hero character, the roles of
women and Native Americans, and the work of the genre's most
prolific directors, Anthony Mann and John Ford. The book includes a
filmography and movie stills.
