Richard Carr’s Charlie Chaplin places politics at the centre of the
filmmaker’s life as it looks beyond Chaplin’s role as a comedic
figure to his constant political engagement both on and off the
screen.
Drawing from a wealth of archival sources from across the
globe, Carr provides an in-depth examination of Chaplin’s life as
he made his way from Lambeth to Los Angeles. From his experi-
ences in the workhouse to his controversial romantic relationships
and his connections with some of the leading political figures of
his day, this book sheds new light on Chaplin’s private life and
introduces him as a key social commentator of the time.
Whether interested in Hollywood and Hitler or communism
and celebrity, Charlie Chaplin is essential reading for all students
of twentieth-century history.
Richard Carr is a Senior Lecturer in History and Politics at Anglia
Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK. His previous publications
include Veteran MPs and Conservative Politics in the Aftermath
of the Great War: The Memory of All That (2013). He has also
co֊authored the books Alice in Westminster: The Political Tife of
Alice Bacon (2016) and The Global 1920s (2016). |
