The professional propagandist emerged as one kind of information specialist, the modernist writer as another. Britain was particularly important to this double history. By secretly hiring well-known writers and intellectuals to write for the government and by exploiting their control of new global information systems, the British in World War I invented a new template for the manipulation of information that remains with us to this day. Making a persuasive case for the importance of understanding modernism in the context of the history of modern propaganda, Modernism, Media, and Propaganda also helps explain the origins of today's highly propagandized world. Modernism, Media, and Propaganda integrates new archival research with fresh interpretations of British fiction and film to provide a comprehensive cultural history of the relationship between modernism and propaganda in Britain during the first half of the twentieth century. From works by Joseph Conrad to propaganda films by Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles, Mark Wollaeger traces the transition from literary to cinematic propaganda while offering compelling close readings of major fiction by Virginia Woolf, Ford Madox Ford, and James Joyce. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zGreat Britain 606 $aPropaganda$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion pictures in propaganda 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aPropaganda$xHistory 615 0$aMotion pictures in propaganda. 676 $a820.9/112 686 $a18.05$2bcl 686 $a24.32$2bcl 700 $aWollaeger$b Mark A.$f1957-$01570276 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778136203321 996 $aModernism, media, and propaganda$93843785 997 $aUNINA
