Apart from its brilliance as television, it’s amazing what 'Deadwood' gets away with. This acclaimed series from HBO, which premiered in 2004, is set in the teeming outlaw camp of ’Deadwood’. It has been described by 'Variety' as ’a vulgar, gritty, at times downright nasty take on the Old West brimming with all the dark genius that series creator and sceenwriter extraordinaire David Milch has at his fingertips’. All this and more. The international cast of authoritative contributors assess 'Deadwood’s' many facets: its profane language, its characters, from Al Swearengen (who lives up to his name) and Calamity Jane, to B.B. Farnham and Mr. Wu, its place in the western genre, 'Deadwood' and serial fiction, prostitution, the making of American civil society, 'Deadwood’s' Chinese, the opening credits, Reverend Smith and much more. Episode and character guides complete the book - the 'Deadwood' companion for fans and students to swear by.

  • This Is a Thriller
    Alan Warren
    The late 1950s and early 1960s were the golden years of horror television. Anthology series such as Way Out and Great Ghost Tales, along with certain episodes of Twilight Zone and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, were among the shows that consistently frightened a generation of television viewers.

  • Staging Nationalism
    Kiki Gounaridou
    When a nation wants to reconnect with a sense of national identity, its cultural celebrations, including its theatre, are often tinged with nostalgia for a cultural high point in its history. Leaders often try to create a 'neo-classical' cultural identity. Artificially returning to an imagined pinnacle, however, can fail to take into account new aspects of national identity,...
