'Deadwood' series examined by Great Plains Quarterly
HBO's critically acclaimed "Deadwood" series gets scholarly attention from a number of angles in the fall issue of Great Plains Quarterly, a publication of the Center for Great Plains Studies at UNL.
In the opinion of David Holmberg, a doctoral student at the University of Washington, "'Deadwood' is one of the most intellectually rich television programs in years, and evidently several colleagues from across the country agree. For the fall issue of Great Plains Quarterly, editor Charles Braithwaite asked Holmberg to introduce researchers who explore in a series of essays the importance to the West and to the Western genre of "Deadwood," which is set in the 1870s in the Black Hills mining town.
Each essay looks at the historical drama produced by David Milch from a different perspective, including language, morality, gender and economics.
The journal may be purchased in the Great Plains Art Museum gift shop, by calling 472-3082, or online at www.unl.edu/plains.
