Description

Elizabeth Bowen's broadcasts, speeches and interviews offer a unique insight into her thoughts on language, culture and literature. From the 1940s to the 1960s, she was an active participant in radio and public discourse, sharing her wit and general insight with audiences across the UK and US. Through these previously unpublished works, Listening In brings together a substantial number of Bowen's broadcasts for the first time, shedding new light on her role as a public intellectual and the cultural context of post-war Europe. The collection includes adaptations of her own short stories, commentary on culture and literature, and discussions with notable figures such as Jane Austen and Frances Burney. This volume is an important addition to modernist media studies, providing valuable insights into radio as a medium and the voice of a major literary figure within it.
