{"product_id":"the-gothic-peckinpah-tony-williams-9781805967156","title":"The Gothic Peckinpah","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book argues for the importance of Gothic in understanding one of the key elements within the films of Sam Peckinpah (1925-1984). Although occasionally noted in the past, the Gothic has been generally overlooked when most critics consider the work of Sam Peckinpah with the exception of the Freudian based Crucified Heroes (1979) by Terence Butler. This work not only examines the films made after that date, especially the often dismissed The Osterman Weekend (1983) and the two music videos he made for Julian Lennon, but also places the director within the context of the developing work on Gothic that has since appeared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeckinpah has been identified as the director of one undisputed masterpiece, The Wild Bunch (1969). By focussing on the key role Gothic plays in most of the director's work, this book offers a way to see Peckinpah beyond The Wild Bunch and the Western, viewing him as a director who had the potential of evolving further, had circumstances permitted, to continue his critique of American life within the developing lens of the Gothic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1805967150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805967156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Tony Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623563407615,"sku":"9781805967156","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gothic-peckinpah-tony-williams-9781805967156","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
