Recenzii
Compelling . focused and succinct.
[S]ucceeds both as a survey of relevant issues and as a series of case studies that evocatively explore the topic . Chignell's book is great at isolating the particulars of this disappeared moment in cultural production, and it leaves the reader with the wish for archival discoveries of seemingly lost programmes in the years to come.
A compelling account of the evolution of British radio drama and its key creative figures, during its most formative years. Essential reading for anyone interested in the highly productive relationship between theater, literature, poetry, dramatic innovation, and the art of radio.
Grounded in a thorough familiarity with the texts and sounds of historical radio, and guided by the understanding that the reputedly conservative mid-century BBC was in fact a crucible of artistic experimentation, Hugh Chignell's elegantly written, meticulously detailed, wide-ranging study sets a new standard for the study of British radio drama during its Golden Age. Chignell is fascinated by how radio drama at this time reveals 'how post-war and cold war Britain was experienced.' Drama, Chignell shows, 'got it.' From the theater of the mind to the theater of the absurd, and from Samuel Beckett to John Osborne, Harold Pinter, J. B. Priestley, Giles Cooper and a slew of long-forgotten other artists in sound, Chignell brings a nuanced attunement to the social, political, institutional, technological and literary contexts within which radio drama flourished, achieving artistic successes that represent canonical moments not only in its own medium, but also in twentieth-century British cultural life.
