This collection examines the work of Norman Corwin - one of the
most important, yet understudied, media authors of all time - as a
critical lens to view the history of multimedia authorship and
sound production. Known as the "poet laureate" of radio, Corwin is
most famous for his radio dramas, which reached millions of
listeners around the world and contributed to radio's success as a
mass media form in the 1930s and 1940s. But Corwin was also a
pioneer in other fields, including cinema, theater, TV, and
journalism. In each of these areas, he had a distinctive approach
to "soundwork," relying on inventive prerecorded and
live-in-real-time atmospheric effects in the studio, among other
aesthetic techniques. Exploring the range of Corwin's work-from his
World War II-era poetry and his special projects for the United
Nations to his path-breaking writing for film and television - and
its influence on media today, these essays underscore the political
and social impact of Corwin's oeuvre and cement his reputation as a
key writer in the history of many sound media.
