{"product_id":"orson-welles-in-focus-texts-and-contexts-9780253032959","title":"Orson Welles in Focus: Texts and Contexts","description":"\u003cp\u003eThrough his radio and film works, such as \u003ci\u003eThe War of the Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/i\u003e, Orson Welles became a household name in the United States. Yet Welles's multifaceted career went beyond these classic titles and included lesser-known but nonetheless important contributions to television, theater, newspaper columns, and political activism. \u003ci\u003eOrson Welles in Focus: Texts and Contexts\u003c\/i\u003e examines neglected areas of Welles's work, shedding light on aspects of his art that have been eclipsed by a narrow focus on his films. By positioning Welles's work during a critical period of his activity (the mid-1930s through 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 modern media. This exploration of Welles in his totality\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eilluminates and expands our perception of his contributions that continue to resonate today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James N.
