Description
Umgawa! John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, otherwise known as “Tarzan” (meaning ‘white skin’ in ape talk), never uttered those words in any of the 26 Tarzan books written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. How does the fictional Tarzan compare to the movie Tarzan? How do the Apes in the Tarzan books and movies conform or contrast with Apes living in Africa? Fred Bercovitch will share his insights into these questions based upon a lifetime immersed in Tarzan, the character, and in studying nonhuman primates.
