"the type of collection, provocative and comprehensive, that not only opens up our conception of modernism but does so in such a way as to invite future work. Given how the essays' diverse subjects and approaches enact a nonreductive protrait of modernism, this anthology promises to be foundational and central to our understanding of how the cacophony of modernity, working across national, cultural, and class borders, was and is impossible to reduce to a singular and monolithic voice."
--Clio 39:2

"Few technoglogical developments in the early twentieth century had a more sweeping impact on cultural life in Great Britain, Europe, and North America than the growth and spread of radio." "The essays that comprise Broadcasting Modernism bring invaluable and long overdue scrutiny to bear on the complex interactions between literature and radio in the early twentieth century."
--English Literature in Transition, vol. 54 issue 2

"Contains a wealth of information about radio technology and the history of broadcasting even for those familiar with recent sound scholarship. "Through case studies of a wide range of authors spanning three generations--from Filippo Marinetti in the 1910s to Lorine Niedecker in the 1960s-- Broadcasting Modernism interrogates and explodes the temporal and spatial dimensions of modernism, providing new conceptual frame-works for future scholarship."
--James Joyce Quarterly, vol. 47 issue 1
