Terry Jones is known the world over as one of the beloved creators of the legendary Monty Python. But independent of the Python team, Jones has been writing columns targeting the Anglo-American response to September 11. His wit and venom are particularly focused on the messianic vernacular of Bush and Blair and the semantics of the "war on terror." As Jones writes, "What really alarms me about President Bush's ‘War on Terrorism' is the grammar. How do you wage war on an abstract noun? ... How is ‘Terrorism' going to surrender? It's well known, in philological circles, that it's very hard for abstract nouns to surrender." Terry Jones's War on the War on Terror proves that in times of high political anxiety, humor and irony are most potent antidotes to the spin emanating from the White House and Downing Street.

Since the first episode of the television series was broadcast on BBC One on October 5 1969 Monty Python have gone on to become perhaps the best-loved and most influential comedy troupe in television history. After four series, five films and countless live performances, the Pythons have become global comedic legends with an adoring, cross-generational fan base and a list of sketches that have passed into comedic folklore. The first new book by all the surviving Pythons in thirty years, Monty Python Live! is a treasure trove of original scripts, personal photos from the live shows and illustrations from Terry Gilliam as well as new material from John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. Timed to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of their television debut, the book also includes never-before-seen archival material that gives a very personal and fascinating insight into the Pythons and the time they shared on the road. Presented as a glorious, full-colour hardback bursting with original material as well as classic memorabilia (dead parrot not included) Monty Python Live! is an essential addition to any Python fan's collection.

With some extremely silly pictures and quite a lot of music, this collection of over 50 Monty Python lyrics coincides with the 25th anniversary of the first Monty Python TV series in October 1969. It includes: I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK, and Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

Monty Python’s Flying Circus aired from 1969 until 1974, but the conclusion of the series did not mark the end of the troupe’s creative output. Even before the final original episodes were recorded and broadcast, the six members began work on their first feature-length enterprise of new material. Rather than string together a series of silly skits, they conceived a full-length story line with references to the real and imagined worlds of the mythical King Arthur, the lives of medieval peasants, and the gloomy climate of 1970s Britain. Released in 1975, Monty Python and the Holy Grail was a modest success but has since been hailed as a modern classic.In A Book about the Film Monty Python and the Holy Grail:All the References from African Swallows to Zoot, Darl Larsen identifies and examines the cultural, historical, and topical allusions in the movie. In this entertaining resource, virtually every reference that appears in a scene—whether stated by a character, depicted in the mise-en-scène, or mentioned in the print companion—is identified and explained. Beyond the Arthurian legend, entries cover literary metaphors, symbols, names, peoples, and places—as well as the myriad social, cultural, and historical elements that populate the film. This book employs the film as a window to both reveal and examine “Arthurian” life and literature, the historical Middle Ages, and a Great Britain of labor unrest, power shortages, and the common man. Introducing the reader to dozens of medievalist histories and authors and connecting the film concretely to the “modern” British Empire, A Book about the Film Monty Python and the Holy Grail will appeal to fans of the troupe as well as medieval scholars and academics who can laugh at themselves and their work.

Monty Python is, arguably, more popular today than it was nearly 40 years ago, when the group first burst onto the comedy scene. Since that time, new generations continue to discover the wit, the genius, and the sheer silliness of the six men that comprised Python. In 1978, Kim 'Howard' Johnson spent several weeks in Tunisia on the set of Life of Brian and kept a detailed journal of what he saw and heard on the set. The result is a unique, eyewitness account that reveals the Pythons at work in a way that nothing else written about them could do. MONTY PYTHON'S TUNISIAN HOLIDAY presents a piece of history that very few have ever been able to experience, a peek on the set of a classic Python film. New, unread copy, in new, mylar-protected dust jacket. NF2

As a follow-up to their first true feature film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the comic troupe next decided to tackle a “shadow” version of the Christ story. Shot in the Middle East and produced during Margaret Thatcher’s ascendant years, the film satirized—among other matters—authoritarianism and religious zealotry. Upon its release, Monty Python’s Life of Brian was both a critical and commercial success, and has been since hailed as one of the greatest comedies of all time. But the film also faced backlash from religious groups for its blasphemy, perceived or otherwise. In A Book about the Film Monty Python's Life of Brian: All of the References from Assyrians to Zeffirelli, Darl Larsen identifies and examines the plethora of cultural, historical, and topical allusions in the film. In this resource, Larsen delineates virtually every allusion and reference that appears in the film—from first-century Jerusalem through 1970s Great Britain. Organized chronologically by scene, the entries in this cultural history cover literary and metaphoric allusions, symbolisms, names, peoples, and places, as well as the many social, cultural, and historical elements that populate this film.By closely examining each scene, this book explores the Pythons’ comparisons of the Roman and British Empires and of Pilate and Margaret Thatcher. In addition, Larsen helps to situate Life of Brian in the “Jesus” re-examination of the postwar period, while also taking a close look at the terror groups of first-century Judea and the modern world. A Book about the Film Monty Python's Life of Brian will appeal to scholars of history, film, British culture, and pop culture, as well as to the many fans of this iconic group.
