Audio Drama and Modernism traces the development of political and
modernist sound drama during the first 40 years of the 20th
Century. It demonstrates how pioneers in the phonograph age made
significant, innovative contributions to sound fiction before,
during, and after the Great War. In stunning detail, Tim Crook
examines prominent British modernist radio writers and auteurs,
revealing how they negotiated their agitational contemporaneity
against the forces of Institutional containment and dramatic
censorship. The book tells the story of key figures such as Russell
Hunting, who after being jailed for making 'sound pornography' in
the USA, travelled to Britain to pioneer sound comedy and montage
in the pre-Radio age; Reginald Berkeley who wrote the first
full-length anti-war play for the BBC in 1925; and D.G. Bridson,
Olive Shapley and Joan Littlewood who all struggled to give a
Marxist voice to the working classes on British radio.
