{"product_id":"and-now-for-something-completely-kate-egan-9781474475150","title":"And Now for Something Completely Different: Critical Approaches to Monty Python","description":"Examining Monty Python's enduring status as an unconventional, anti-authoritarian comedy touchstone, this book reappraises Python's comedy output from the perspective of its fifty years of cultural circulation. Reconsidering the group's originality, impact and durability, a range of international scholars explores Python's influences, production contexts, frequently controversial themes, and the cult status and forms of fandom associated with Python in the present day. From television sketches, including The Funniest Joke in the World, Hell's Grannies, Dead Parrot and Confuse-a-Cat, to the films Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life, to songs from the albums and live shows, this book is a ground-breaking critical analysis of the Monty Python phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Egan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474475159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474475150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Kate Egan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942903906559,"sku":"9781474475150","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b0898f87-a3e7-406f-b839-4f2e534e6108.jpg?v=1681495038","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/and-now-for-something-completely-kate-egan-9781474475150","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
