A curiously distinctive American product, Western is a genre of fiction which has enjoyed considerable
\npopularity in and outside its birth place. Often considered as a prime example of popular culture, the Western
\nnevertheless has withstood the test of time and continues to capture the imagination of both creative artists
\nas well as the readers. The Western characters and tropes are instantly recognizable often owing to their
\nsteadfast loyalty to their generic preoccupations. Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian with its specific
\ngeographical setting, its historical time frame and its direct allusion to some culture specific myths of the
\nfrontier, naturally demands its own rank amidst the canon of the Western. A truly consummate artist as
\nMcCarthy, however, does not just stop at simply subscribing to the essential tropes of the Western while
\nwriting his novel. What he does instead is alongside evoking the recognizable patterns of the Western, he
\nprovides a covert critique or rigorous revision of them which in turn provides his readers with a much more
\ncomplex albeit rewardingly insightful reading experience. This paper provides a brief anatomy of the basic
\nnarrative structures of a Western novel and tries to analyze how McCarthy in Blood Meridian attempts to renegotiate
\nwith them.

\r\n", "page": "postScriptum: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Literary Studies (online, open access, peer-reviewed, DOAJ Indexed; ISSN: 2456-7507) is a bi-annual journal of Humanities & Social Sciences, published in the months of January and July every year at http://postscriptum.co.in
\r\n\r\nIn spite of being an afterthought, appended to the script, post scriptum is always an integral part of the script. Post scriptum is often the space for revisions, modifications and alterations of the original script.
\r\n\r\nLiterary discourses are but the reflections of our engagements with the literary works. Being post scriptum in the literary sense – scripted after the script – such discourses sometimes prove themselves to be the rightful appendices of the scripts through revisions, modifications and alterations.
\r\n\r\nThis online journal is just an endeavour to bring to light some such post scriptum discourses.
\r\n\r\nThe interdisciplinary nature of this journal accommodates literary discourses that deal with literary representations which have sprouted from original scripts or, maybe, never had a script so to say. The emergence of nonscriptural literary works is gradually taking us towards a postscriptum era. Being online in publication nature, this journal also strives to capture the essence of this postscriptum era.
\r\n\r\npostSciptum aims to provide connoisseurs, scholars and academicians a space for publishing popular, research and academic discourses involving several intersects of literary studies.
\r\n\r\nThe interdisciplinary nature of literary studies, in recent times, is evident not only in its incorporation of the socio-cultural idioms in its regular discourses, but also in its acknowledgement of several nonscriptural forms that have emerged in recent times. The scope of postScriptum encompasses the multifaceted socio-cultural aspects reflected through the prism of scriptural and nonscriptural mediums of literature in general.
