Listening In
Broadcasts, Speeches, and Interviews by
Elizabeth Bowen
EDITED AND INTRODUCED BY ALLAN HEPBURN
From the
1940s
until the
1960s,
Elizabeth Bowen wrote essays for radio
broadcast, improvised interviews on the air, and gave public lectures. These
public appearances were a trial for her because she had a pronounced stammer.
She thought her recorded voice sounded alien, like the voice of a stranger. She
complained that reading her own work on the air gave her lockjaw. Nevertheless,
she was a spellbinding talker, as her many friends commented. Invited to
university campuses in the US and the UK, 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 cinema in the
1930s
and
the making of Lawrence of Arabia in the
19608.
Her first efforts for radio were
adaptations of her own short stories and dramatizations of literary subjects.
She quickly turned to commentary on culture, such as the beginning of the
BBC Third Programme and the atmosphere in postwar Czechoslovakia. In this
regard, the radio and the speech shape Bowen s persona as a public intellectual
capable of talking on numerous subjects with wit and general insight.
During her lifetime, Bowen published a few of her broadcasts in collections of
non-fiction. Listening In brings together a substantial number of her ungathered
and unknown works for the first time.
Allan Hepburn is Associate Professor of English at McGill University in Montreal.
He has also edited The Bazaar and Other Stories by Elizabeth Bowen and
People, Places, Things: Essays by Elizabeth Bowen, both published by Edinburgh
University Press.
