For the last decade and a half America has assumed a dominant position. Novelists, screenwriters and journalists, who would once have had no interest in writing for television, indeed who often despised it, suddenly realised that it was where America could have a dialogue with itself. The new television drama was where writers could engage with the social and political realities of the time, interrogating the myths and values of a society moving into a new century. Familiar genres have been reinvented, from crime fiction to science fiction. This is a book as much about a changing America as about the television series which have addressed it, from The Sopranos and The Wire to The West Wing, Mad Men and Treme in what has emerged as the second golden age of American television drama"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000711667 650_0 $$aTelevision series$$zUnited States$$xHistory and criticism. 000711667 650_0 $$aTelevision broadcasting$$xSocial aspects$$zUnited States. 000711667 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xIntellectual life$$y21st century. 000711667 85200 $$bgen$$hPN1992.8.S4$$iB54$$i2013 000711667 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97811070/43930/cover/9781107043930.jpg 000711667 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:711667$$pGLOBAL_SET 000711667 980__ $$aBIB 000711667 980__ $$aBOOK
