The comic archetype of the Little Man - a "nobody" who stands up to unfairness - is central to the films of Woody Allen and Charlie Chaplin. Drawing on psychoanalysis and gender-studies, this book explores their films as barometers of their respective cultural moments, marking the shift between modernism and postmodernism.
