Through chapters focusing on the middlebrow radicalism of J.B. Priestley, ground-breaking works by Louis MacNeice and James Hanley at the BBC Features Department, frontline reporting by Denis Johnston, and the emergence of a West Indian literary identity in the broadcasts of Una Marson, 'Writing the Radio War' explores how these writers capitalised on the particularities of the sonic medium to communicate their visions of wartime and postwar Britain and its empire. By combining literary aesthetics with the acoustics of space, accent, and dialect, writers created aural communities that at times converged, and at times contended, with official wartime versions of Britain and Britishness. 610 20 $a British Broadcasting Corporation $x History. 610 27 $a British Broadcasting Corporation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00534503 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Great Britain $x Radio broadcasting and the war. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Social aspects $z Great Britain. 650 4 $a Radio broadcasting $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Radio broadcasting and war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01087275 650 7 $a Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354981 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Edinburgh critical studies in war and culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212024757.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8510B880840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
