Cohen (English, U. of South Carolina) et al. bring together 15 essays discussing the influence of radio on modernist literature. Writers and scholars of English, literature, media and film, and other fields from universities in the US and UK consider radio as a concept within contexts such as the Futurist manifestos, psychoanalysis, and theories of Adorno, and its influence on writing on and off the air by those such as Gertrude Stein, Richard Wright, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Wallace Stevens, Lorine Niedecker, and Edna St. Vincent Millay. The volume originated in a seminar at the annual meeting of the Modernist Studies Association in Birmingham in 2003. Some chapters have been previously published elsewhere.
