Description

Through his radio and film works, such as The War of the Worlds and Citizen Kane, Orson Welles became a household name in the US. Yet Welles’s multifaceted career went beyond these classic titles and included lesser-known but nonetheless necessary contributions to tv, theater, newspaper columns, and political activism. Orson Welles in Center of attention: Texts and Contexts examines neglected areas of Welles’s work, shedding light on aspects of his art which were eclipsed by a narrow Center of attention on his films. By positioning Welles’s work all through a very important period of his activity (the mid-1930s in the course of the 1950s) in its larger cultural, political, aesthetic, and industrial contexts, the contributors to this volume examine how he participated in and helped to shape brand new media. This exploration of Welles in his totality illuminates and expands our perception of his contributions that continue to resonate nowadays.
