'The Battle of the Bard' explores this episode in US cultural history when NBC and CBS competed to perform Shakespeare for an American audience in a low-risk setting that they hoped would bring prestige to their networks. The resulting fourteen broadcasts are among the more remarkable recreations of Shakespeare of their time. This lively and engaging book shows the cultural dominance of radio at the time, and tells the story of why the networks each wanted to lord Shakespeare's prestige over the other, how they put their series together, the critical reception, and the cultural impact and legacies of the broadcasts. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $v Audio adaptations $x History and criticism. 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029048 650 0 $a Radio plays $x Social aspects $z United States. 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 830 0 $a Recreational Shakespeare. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2018165024 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191126022103.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F99CD546101A11EA8DA14E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
