{"product_id":"horizons-west","title":"Horizons West","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen first published in 1969, \u003ci\u003eHorizons West\u003c\/i\u003e was immediately recognised as the definitive critical account of the Western film and some of its key directors. This greatly expanded new edition is, like the original, written in a graceful, penetrating and absorbingly readable style. It provides definitive critical analysis of the six greatest film-makers of the Western genre: John Ford, Anthony Mann, Budd Boetticher, Sam Peckinpah, Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood. And it offers illuminating accounts of such classic Westerns as \u003ci\u003eThe Searchers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePat Garrett and Billy the Kid\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOnce Upon a Time in the West\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShane \u003c\/i\u003eand many more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Among the completely new material in this edition is Kitses's magisterial account of the work of the greatest of Western directors, John Ford. Kitses also assesses how the Western has been challenged by revisionist historical accounts of the West and the Western, and by movement such as feminism, postmodernism, multiculturalism and psychoanalysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The product of a lifetime's labour and love, \u003ci\u003eHorizons West \u003c\/i\u003eis a landmark of scholarship and interpretation devoted to, what is for many, Hollywood's signature genre. It provides a compelling account of the powerful mythology of America's past as forged by Western films and the men who made them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56107971772760,"sku":"9781844570508","price":42.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781844570508.jpg?v=1778714122","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/horizons-west","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
