Greece on Air offers the first substantial discussion of the
fascinating history of creative and public engagements with ancient
Greek literature, history, and thought via the BBC Radio, from the
birth of domestic broadcasting in the 1920s up to the 1960s.
The astonishing range of programmes broadcast in this period
includes some of the most interesting, creative, and political
engagements with ideas from and about ancient Greece in
twentieth-century Britain. From talks to schools and adult
education groups, creative re-imaginings of ancient historical
texts written and broadcast as Second World War propaganda, and
scores of performances of Greek tragedy, comedy, and their modern
adaptations, Wrigley draws on the vast amount of evidence that
exists in the written archives (both for production processes and
also listeners' responses) to develop a full understanding of the
role of the radio medium in public engagements with ancient Greece
in twentieth-century Britain.
