Product Description
A summary analysis of Charlie Chaplins films that star his alterego Charlie which is to say for the most part Chaplins silent films and not his sound films. In the book I stress Chaplins often underrated skills as a filmdirector as well as his work as a mimetic satirist. And I structure the book according to the key ideas and ingredients of Chaplins art rather than by the chronological filmbyfilm structure that has characterized the vast majority of critical works on Chaplin. My goal is not to summarize the arc of Chaplins career but to carve out the essence of his art to offer a lexicon of his filmic nature. I mean the book for Chaplin scholars but just as much for the general reader who is looking for a cogent but thorough introduction to Chaplin who would like to know why it is that critics take Chaplin as seriously as they do.
