商品簡介
From the 1940s to the 1960s, Elizabeth Bowen wrote essays, improvised interviews, and delivered public lectures for radio broadcast. Though she suffered from a pronounced stammer (she worried her recorded voice sounded alien, like "the voice of a stranger") Bowen was nevertheless a spellbinding speaker. Invited to university campuses in the U.S. and the U.K., she delivered important speeches on language, "the fear of pleasure," character in fiction, the idea of American homes, and other topics. Inveterately curious, Bowen wrote about media as a personal and social force. Without fuss or pretension, she documents her love of 1930s cinema and the making of Lawrence of Arabia (1962). Her first efforts at radio were adaptations of her own short stories and dramatizations of literary subjects. Then she quickly turned to cultural commentary. In this regard, radio and speech shaped Bowen's persona as a public intellectual capable of speaking on numerous subjects with general wit and insight. Listening In gathers a substantial number of Bowen's ungathered and unknown works, and when combined with The Bazaar and Other Stories and People, Places, Things: Essays by Elizabeth Bowen, a complete portrait of Bowen's voice within modernism is achieved. Bowen comments on writers such as Katherine Mansfield, Jane Austen, and Frances Burney in her broadcasts; recites an essay about the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II; and sheds light on women's roles in postwar Europe.
