CALL FOR PAPERS for A Century of the Marx Brothers to be published by
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,

showcase the range of the Marx Brothers' influence and a variety of

Woody Allen's appreciation of their work, and a consideration of their
surrealistic aspects.
