Publisher's Synopsis

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.
