Cambridge Scholars Press.

This collection will consider the impact of the Marx Brother's work over
the past one hundred years. Papers can analyze individual films,

theoretical approaches. Current contributions include the Marx Brothers
"ethnic construction of character," a Deleuzian reading of their humor,
Woody Allen's appreciation of their work, and a consideration of their
surrealistic aspects.
