West of Everything Zusammenfassung

West of Everything: The Inner Life of Westerns Jane Tompkins (Professor of English, Professor of English, Duke University)

Is there anyone who has not seen a Western film, or read a Western novel? In West of Everything, Jane Tompkins asks what the Western hero has meant for Americans in the twentieth century. Thoughtful, insightful, and often refreshingly personal, Tompkins' book explores how the reader or viewer experience the wild west of the psyche.

West of Everything Bewertungen

'oddly moving book' Times Literary Supplement
'Jane Tompkins, in her admirable West of Everything, conveys a sharp sense of the uneasiness felt by the reader of Westerns. Hers is an unapologetically personal, impressionistic discussion, seeking to capture the feeling of being 'in a Western'.' Times Higher Education Supplement
'Jane Tompkins's West of Everything has a more unexpected object for her feminine gaze. She admits to loving Western films and novels, though at the same time feels ambivalent about these violent and macho genres. She demonstrates that there are still new things to be said about movies.' Independent on Sunday
'She demonstrates that there are still new things to be said about movies.' Robin Buss, The Independent on Sunday
'A lively, provocative and sympathetic book.' Sight & Sound
