  • Author-As-Franchise-Product: Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc and Tarzan As Historical Branded Entertainment
    53 Chapter 3 Author-as-Franchise-Product: Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc and Tarzan as Historical Branded Entertainment Matthew Freeman University of Nottingham, UK ABSTRACT This chapter explores the historical relationship between the branded media entertainment of Tarzan and the rise of consumer culture in the 1920s and 1930s. It argues that the transmedia licensing of this property across pulp magazines, comics, and radio reflected the growing embrace of brand-franchise logics throughout the business landscape of America at that time. I offer the metaphor of ‘stepping stones’ to understand the brand linkages between these different media products in which consumption of one product led to the consumption of another. More importantly, I analyse the function of Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs and his company, suggesting that his visibility as franchise-author played a crucial role in constructing these brand linkages between media products. Contextualised as part of the very different cultural landscape of 1920s and 1930s consumer culture, I demonstrate how an autho- rial name operated commercially as much as a corporatised component of the branded entertainment products of Tarzan as the Tarzan character himself. INTRODUCTION By 1975, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., a family-owned corporation founded in March 1923, was reported to be earning in the region of $1 million annually from the sales of texts and products based on the fic- tional character Tarzan. ‘The world-wide gross of Tarzan products sold under license to us is at least $50 million a year,’ asserted Robert M. Hodes, the man in charge of the Tarzan empire at that time (The New York Times, 1975, p.

Or at least so thought Tarzan of the Apes, who squatted upon a low-swinging branch in a near-by tree and looked down upon her. Just to have seen him there, lolling upon the swaying bough of the jungle-forest giant, his brown skin mottled by the brilliant equatorial sunlight which percolated through the leafy canopy of green above him, his clean-limbed body relaxed in graceful ease, his shapely head partly turned in contemplative absorption and his intelligent, gray eyes dreamily devouring the object of their devotion, you would have thought him the reincarnation of some demigod of old. You would not have guessed that in infancy he had suckled at the breast of a hideous, hairy she-ape, nor that in all his conscious past since his parents had passed away in the little cabin by the landlocked harbor at the jungle's verge, he had known no other associates than the sullen bulls and the snarling cows of the tribe of Kerchak, the great ape.

  • First Sound Cachet” by Gladys West-Jones
    The Making of the “First Sound Cachet” By Gladys West-Jones As a child growing up in the deep south of Natchez, Mississippi, I recall that there weren’t a lot of televisions in the black community, and the one we had was black and white. This was an era when playing outside, making up games, and smelling like sunshine were the epitome of being a kid. You see, I was a tomboy who loved the outdoors and climbing trees. I also loved watching TV, and one of my favorite shows was “Tarzan”. I never missed an episode. When I learned that the Edgar Rice Burroughs stamp was being issued, and that he was the creator of “Tarzan”, my motivation for making a cachet was as strong as a rabid dog. As my mentor, Florence “Via” Villaseñor, has taught me, before you make a cachet, you study your subject by doing a lot of research. So, that’s what I did. I wanted to capture in my cover the essence of Tarzan, the “King of the Jungle”. With all that I wanted to do, I realized that it would take more than one cover. I started with wanting to know all of the actors who played Tarzan on television and in the movies. I discovered that there were 23. So I decided to write about all of them including where they are today. Second, I wanted to know more about Edgar Rice Burroughs. Having just seen the movie “John Carter of Mars”, and hearing the advertisers say that it took Burroughs 100 years to produce, I wanted to know what else Burroughs had accomplished.

  • The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs
    I The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Lost Races and Racism in American Popular Culture James R. Nesteby Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy August 1978 Approved: © 1978 JAMES RONALD NESTEBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ¡ ¡ in Abstract The Tarzan series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), beginning with the All-Story serialization in 1912 of Tarzan of the Apes (1914 book), reveals deepseated racism in the popular imagination of early twentieth-century American culture. The fictional fantasies of lost races like that ruled by La of Opar (or Atlantis) are interwoven with the realities of racism, particularly toward Afro-Americans and black Africans. In analyzing popular culture, Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932) and John G. Cawelti's Adventure, Mystery, and Romance (1976) are utilized for their indexing and formula concepts. The groundwork for examining explanations of American culture which occur in Burroughs' science fantasies about Tarzan is provided by Ray R. Browne, publisher of The Journal of Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture, and by Gene Wise, author of American Historical Explanations (1973). The lost race tradition and its relationship to racism in American popular fiction is explored through the inner earth motif popularized by John Cleves Symmes' Symzonla: A Voyage of Discovery (1820) and Edgar Allan Poe's The narrative of A. Gordon Pym (1838); Burroughs frequently uses the motif in his perennially popular romances of adventure which have made Tarzan of the Apes (Lord Greystoke) an ubiquitous feature of American culture.

He yodels the Tarzan yell and swings vine to vine to save Jane from a lion’s jaws. The tomboy in me wants to be Tarzan and the little girl wants to be Jane. I want a leopard-skin minidress and a chimp sidekick. I want to put myself in danger, but I want to be rescued too, the way Jane is always rescued. Most of all, I want Tarzan the Ape Man to never end. For movie fans of a certain age, “Tarzan” will always translate to one guy—Johnny Weissmuller. And Jane will always be Maureen O’Sullivan. Together they made six movies as Tarzan and Jane, and Weissmuller made six more with various Janes. His sixteen-year reign as Tarzan is considered the golden age of the character. A champion swimmer with no acting experience, Weissmuller was an instant hit as Tarzan. “However credible or interesting Tarzan may be on the printed page, I doubt very much if he emerges in such splendor as he does in the person of Johnny Weissmuller” (Thornton Delehanty in his review of Tarzan the Ape Man in 1932).

Sure as the Sun Turn to Moon Reprise. Based on Children's Books. While Tarzan of the Apes met with some critical success, subsequent books in the series received a cooler reception and have been criticized for being derivative and formulaic. Bederman, in fact, reminds readers that when Tarzan first introduces himself to Jane, he does so as "Tarzan, the killer of beasts and many black men". Back to School Picks. Tarzan follows the extraordinary adventures of an orphaned infant raised by a family of gorillas who matures into a young man with the instincts of a jungle animal and the physical prowess of an athletic superstar. We are looking to choose a play for the summer. He is presented as behaving ethically in most situations, except when seeking vengeance under the motivation of grief , as when his ape mother Kala is killed in Tarzan of the Apes ; or when he believes Jane has been murdered in Tarzan the Untamed.

There are the typical Burroughs contrivances there's a moment where Tarzan's life is saved by a foe having a conveniently-timed epileptic seizure , and Xuja itself is perhaps the "City of Contrivances," though Burroughs seems to have put more thought into Xuja than he did Opar. On his return he discovers among many burned bodies one that appears to be the corpse of his wife, Jane Porter Clayton. But in this book, written after WWI , but taking a point at the start of the war as its focus -- at the beginning of the book, Tarzan, AKA Lord Greystoke, has just learned that hostilities between Britain and Germany now exist -- the book presents the Germans as harshly as the propaganda against Germany published during the war, when Ge This is the most amazing book. It's almost as if he wrote some of it and then threw in some fanfic for the rest. Thank heavens Edgar kept writing Tarzan tales His preferred dress is a knife and a loincloth of animal hide, his preferred abode is a convenient tree branch which happens to be nearby when he desires to sleep, and his favored food is raw meat, killed by himself; even better if he is able to bury it a week so that putrefaction has had a chance to tenderize it a bit.
