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 experiences
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.
