| 520 | 1 | |a "In 1969, the BBC aired the first episode of a new comedy series titled Monty Python's Flying Circus, and the rest, as they say, is history. An instant success, the show ran until 1974, producing a total of forty-five episodes. Despite the show's very English humor and allusions to many things British, the series developed a cult following outside the UK, particularly in the United States. Known for its outrageous humor, occasionally controversial content, and often silly spirit, Monty Python's Flying Circus poked fun at nearly all institutions - domestic or foreign, grand or intimate, sacred or not. Indeed, many of the references in the program were uniquely British and routinely obscure, and therefore not always understood or even noticed outside the British Isles." "This exhaustive reference identifies and explains the plethora of cultural, historical, and topical allusions of this landmark series. Virtually every allusion and reference that appeared in an episode - whether stated by a character, depicted in the mise-en-scene, or mentioned in the printed scripts - is identified and explained. Organized chronologically by episode, each entry is listed alphabetically, indicates what sketch it appeared in, and is cross-referenced between episodes. Entries cover literary and metaphoric allusions, symbolism, names, peoples, and places, as well as the myriad social, cultural, and historical elements (photos, songs, slogans, caricatures) that populate and inform the episodes." "Monty Python's Flying Circus: An Utterly Complete, Thoroughly Unillustrated, Absolutely Unauthorized Guide to Possibly All the References: From Arthur "Two-Sheds" Jackson to Zambesi provides scholarly, carefully researched annotations of both the direct references and more oblique allusions found in the episodes. As they pore over this volume, scholars and fans who already appreciate the silliness of the program can also enjoy the acculturated all-ness of the Python members."--BOOK JACKET. | |
