Fanque presents an interesting phenomenon by contributing to popular culture over three centuries - his own, with regard to the development of circus entertainment in the 19th century; the late 20th century, as the subject of lyrics by John Lennon; the 21st, as an icon of multicultural Britain. This talk uses his career to explore the growth of circus as an entertainment form and its contribution to popular culture.
