	Western (genre) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Western fiction got its start in the "penny dreadfuls" and later the "dime novels" (see also Dime Western) that first began to be published in the mid-nineteenth century
		An offshoot of the western genre is the "post-apocalyptic" western, in which a future society, struggling to rebuild after a major catastrophe, is portrayed in a manner very similar to the 19th century frontier.
		For example, a very typical Western plot is that an eastern lawman heads west, where he matches wits and trades bullets with a gang of outlaws and thugs, and is aided by a local lawman who is well-meaning but largely ineffective until a critical moment when he redeems himself by saving the hero's life.

		Western fiction got its start in the "penny dreadfuls" and later the "dime novels" that first began to be published in the mid-nineteenth century.
		But the best of the genre, notably the films directed by Sergio Leone, have a parodic dimension (the strange opening scene of Once Upon a Time in the West being a reversal of Fred Zinnemann's High Noon opening scene) which gave them a different tone to the Hollywood westerns.
		Westerns, by definition, are set in the American West, almost always in the 19th century, generally between the Antebellum period and the turn of the century.

	Images - The Western
		An historic overview of the early days of the genre from the late 1890s until the close of the silent era in the late 1920s with an emphasis on how the Western myth was developed and refined from its earliest articulation in dime novels and Wild West Shows.
		The iconography of the Western is the largest and richest of all the film genres, and Hollywood has burned it into the minds of moviegoers from Dodge City to Timbuktu.
		Critics either blasted or ignored these films, and because most of them were financed by Italian companies, they called them "spaghetti westerns." Fans of the genre embraced the term which is now lovingly used to label any Western made and financed by Continental filmmakers.

	Larry Widen -- Milwaukee History -- THE DIME MUSEUMS
		The dime museums, in an effort to survive, retreated to western states where the populations had not yet become fully acquainted with moving pictures.
		On April 13, 1884, the Milwaukee Dime Museum was purchased from Broadway and Treyser by Kohl and Middleton, another Chicago-based museum enterprise that operated similar ventures in St. Louis and Minneapolis.
		The one-time dime museum magnate left an estate of $1,250,000, a testament to his theatrical successes following the sale of his museum in 1889.

	Strange Horizons Articles: The Western Genre Fled Across the Desert, and Stephen King Followed, by David M. Higgins
		This absence, this breakdown of meaning in the genre Western, the void left behind where the Western once stood, becomes the Dark Tower, a mysterious and unrevealed center of power that Roland quests for with unrelenting determination and an absolute absence of any moral or ethical value.
		is a Western that comes after the death of Westerns (a post-Western?); it exemplifies what happens when the Western continues, across the irrational landscape of dreams and emotional investments, long after the high ideals of the traditional Western have faded.
		If the Western is a dead genre, and the Western was the theatre where American models of masculinity were performed, then where can men in the modern day find something to fill the void, the absence left in the dust of this genre?

	The Silent Westerns
		Though motion pictures are a distinctly twentieth century phenomenon, the silent westerns represent "old myths in new packages"; one critic in 1919 even called them the "modern dime novels." Silent film perpetuates old myths of the West, but it is in many ways a unique medium.
		Historically, it overlaps with the decline of the "Old West," so that it is at once an instrument for mythologizing and recording a dying frontier; indeed it often blurs the distinctions between history and myth in the personages of cowboys-turned-actors, outlaws-turned-directors, and western landscapes-turned-movie sets.
