Abstract

This article explores how Deadwood (HBO, 2004-2006) revises the relationship between televisual history and the television Western. It argues that Deadwood, in reinventing the Western as a quality television series, self-consciously undermines the generic conventions of the television Western and reconceptualizes the epistemological status of the Western genre.
