The Western has always been inextricably linked to the
USA, and studies have continually sought to connect its historical development
to changes in American society and Hollywood innovations. Focusing new critical
attention on films produced in Germany, Italy and Britain, this timely book
offers a radical rereading of the evolutionary history of the Western and
brings a vital international dimension to its study. Lee Broughton argues not
only that European films possess a special significance in terms of the genre's
global development, but also that many offered groundbreaking and progressive
representations of traditional Wild West 'Others': Native Americans, African
Americans and so-called 'strong women'. European Westerns investigates how the
histories of Germany, Italy and Britain - and the idiosyncrasies of their
respective national film industries - influenced representations of the self
and 'Other', shedding light on the broader cultural, historical and political
contexts that shaped European engagement with the genre.
