Chaplin and American Culture Summary

Chaplin and American Culture: The Evolution of a Star Image by Charles J. Maland

Charles Maland focuses on the cultural sources of the on-and-off, love-hate affair between Chaplin and the American public that was perhaps the stormiest in American stardom.

Chaplin and American Culture Reviews

A fascinating, ambitious and incisive look at American culture and at the cinematic genius.---Robin Lippincott, New York Times Book Review
Maland pioneers a new approach to Chaplin.... Anyone interested in Chaplin must read it. And those engaged in the task of bringing to film history a new awareness of the cultural and political context of film production and reception will find this a book to think about, argue with, and learn from.---Tom Gunning, Film Quarterly
[Here is] the story behind Charlie Chaplin's rise and fall from grace in the public eye, his attempts to redeem his stardom, his twenty-year banishment from the United States, and his qualified rapprochement.... [Maland] puts us in touch with those times past but also confronts us with those still-lurking societal instincts that urge a culture's killing of its prophets.---Gerard Molyneaux, Flashback
