Description
This is the story of how early radio transformed the sense of home and of nationhood in 1920s and 1930s Britain. The arrival of “wireless” is commonly covered from the broadcasters’ point of view, but this book is about its reception by listeners, tracking how they integrated the new medium into their own households, and, through it, became connected in a new sense of nationhood. Illustrated with archival material.
