Whereas previous reaction to the series has largely addressed the question of historical accuracy rather than intertextuality or literary complexity, Melody Graulich and Nicolas S. Witschi's edited volume brings a much-needed perspective to \u003ci\u003eDeadwood\u003c\/i\u003e's representation of the frontier West. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Graulich observes in her introduction: \"With its emotional coherence, compelling characterizations, compressed structural brilliance, moral ambiguity, language experiments, interpretation of the past, relevance to the present, and engagement with its literary forebears, \u003ci\u003eDeadwood\u003c\/i\u003e is an aesthetic triumph as historical fiction and, like much great literature, makes a case for the humanistic value of storytelling.\" From previously unpublished interviews with series creator David Milch to explorations of sexuality, disability, cinematic technique, and western narrative, this collection focuses on \u003ci\u003eDeadwood\u003c\/i\u003e as a series ultimately about the imagination, as a verbal and visual construct, and as a literary masterpiece that richly rewards close analysis and interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melody Graulich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803264747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803264748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melody Graulich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947204051199,"sku":"9780803264748","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5b3a0b04-6f29-486d-a1f7-83cfea74fdff.jpg?v=1681517340","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dirty-words-in-deadwood-melody-graulich-9780803264748","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
