Thomas Hajkowski

The BBC and national identity in Britain, 1922-53 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first study of how the BBC, through radio, tried to represent what it meant to be British. The book combines an examination of the BBC's desire to construct a strong, unitary sense of Britishness (through empire and the monarchy) with a thorough consideration of the broadcasting in the non-English parts of the United Kingdom.
