"A sweeping, insightful account of this most rich and resilient of movie genres. Bandy and Stoehr rescue the Western from the oversimplifications of much recent ideological criticism and present the form in the full range of its emotional complexity and cultural significance." --Dave Kehr, author of "When Movies Mattered: Reviews from a Transformative Decade" "Mary Lea Bandy has spent decades using her inestimable knowledge and innate generosity to open audiences' eyes, encourage other scholars, and campaign for the preservation of film. In "Ride, Boldly Ride," she turns her always illuminating analysis to the American western, finally giving it the breadth and depth it has long deserved." --Cari Beauchamp, author of "Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood" ""Ride, Boldy Ride" has a rare ease and opinionated knowledge about its subject. In this first full-length overview of the Western genre published since the 1970s, Mary Lea Bandy and Kevin Stoehr cover a fine mix of canonical classics and little-known films worthy of more notice. With their engaging and clear style, Bandy and Stoehr make the reader eager to seek out the films covered here, or to seek them out again." --Scott Simmon, author of "The Invention of the Western Film"
