The Western is a uniquely genre which has found expression in the medious of literature, radio, television and the movies. Westerns derive their name from the fact that they are set West of the Mississippi before these areas were developed and settled. Many Westerns thus take place in frontier outposts in the latter half of the Nineteenth Century.
Westerns, while not as popular as they once were, continue to be produced because their setting remains compelling and allows for the expression of some basic human conflicts. Popular icons of the Western include the gun, the horse, the saloon and the open prairie. The Western portrayed a violent and isolated society which placed a premium on freedom and independence. Often Westerns showed conflict between white settlers and Native Americans. Another common conflict was between the focus of law and order, often represented by the town sheriff, and criminal elements such as cattle rustlers, bank robbers and guns for hire.
Westerns were particularly popular from the turn of the 20th Century up until the mid 1960s. In the early part of the century Western stories usually appeared in inexpensive "pulp" magazines. In the 1920s radio dramas such as the Lone Ranger came into vogue. Westerns reached their greatest audience, however with the large number of movies made from the mid 1930s to mid 1960s. Western movie stars such as John Wayne, Gary Cooper and more recently Clint Eastwood have remained extremely popular with the American public. With the
advent
of television in the 1950s, a new avenue opened up for the Western and programs such as Gunsmoke and Bonanza exposed a whole new generation to the mythology of the American West.
Westerns are often thought to be crude and unsophisticated as they paint a romanticized and unrealistic portrait of the American West of the time. While this may be true of many Westerns, some critics have noted that the best Westerns often show an ever present tension in American sociey: between the need for society on the one hand and the desire of individuals to express their personal impulses on the other hand. Because this is fundamental to US culture, the Western genre will likely to be with us for years to come. [br] What is the reason for naming a genre as The Western?
