Modernism at the Microphone: Radio, Propaganda, and Literary Aesthetics During World War II - Historicizing Modernism
Dinsman, Dr Melissa (Lecturer, University of Notre Dame, USA, University of Notre Dame, USA)
As the Second World War raged throughout Europe, modernist writers often became crucial voices in the propaganda efforts of both sides. This volume is a comprehensive study of the role modernist writers' radio works played in the propaganda war and the relationship between modernist literary aesthetics and propaganda. Drawing on new archival research, the book covers the broadcast work of such key figures as George Orwell, Orson Welles, Dorothy L. Sayers, Louis MacNeice, Mulk Raj Anand, T. S. Eliot, and PG. Wodehouse. In addition to the work of Ango-American modernists, Melissa Dinsman also explores the radio work of exiled German writers, such as Thomas Mann, as well as Ezra Pound's notorious pro-fascist broadcasts. In this way, the book reveals modernism's engagement with new technologies that opened up transnational boundaries under the pressures of war.
