As the Second World War raged throughout Europe, modernist writers
often became crucial voices in the propaganda efforts of both
sides. Modernism at the Microphone: Radio, Propaganda, and Literary
Aesthetics During World War II 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 P.G.
Wodehouse. In addition to the work of Anglo-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.
