Tarzan Forever by John Taliaferro

A lively, meticulously researched portrait of Edgar Rice Burroughs that traces his rise from obscure pulp writer to one of the twentieth century’s most influential popular storytellers, examining the creation of his most famous characters and the commercial and personal struggles that shaped his life. Drawing on letters, family papers and archival research, it covers his colorful private life, business battles, shifting fortunes, and the film and media adaptations that magnified his reach. The narrative places his work in historical and cultural context, assessing both his imaginative gifts and the controversies in his legacy, and shows how his creations became a global mass‑media phenomenon.
