Reviews
Peter Kalliney, author of Modernism in a Global Context:
With archival surprises and deft close readings, Radio Empire shows how the BBC’s Eastern Service influenced the development of Anglophone fiction. Including treatments of canonical figures such as E. M. Forster and Mulk Raj Anand, as well as important but understudied novelists, such as Venu Chitale and Attia Hosain, Morse reveals how the technical constraints and possibilities of radio broadcasting impacted the formal conventions of English-language writing. It is an exciting contribution to colonial and postcolonial literary studies.
