      abstract = {A concise and accessible introduction to the role violence  has played in the cinema from the silent era to the  present, this volume illustrates the breadth and depth of  screen bloodshed in historical, cultural and industrial  contexts. After considering problems of definition, this  study offers a systematic history of film violence and  examines three of the most popular violent genres (western,  horror and action). It concludes with a case study on the  centrality of film violence to the directors of the New  American Cinema, such as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin  Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, which offers a strong  example of how violence, history, ideology and genre are  all deeply intertwined.},
