ABSTRACT
D.G. Bridson (1910–80) worked for thirty-five years as one of the most creative and innovatory writer-producers on BBC radio, for which he produced two authoritative series, ‘The Negro in America’ (1964) and ‘America since the Bomb’ (1966), as well as broadcasts with Auden. His early writing figured in Ezra Pound’s ‘Active Anthology’ (1933), and he formed friendships with both Pound and Wyndham Lewis, despite the fact that his own political affiliations lay with the radical liberal left. His books include ‘The Filibuster: A Study of the Political Ideas of Wyndham Lewis’ (1972), ‘Prospero and Ariel: The Rise and Fall of Radio’ (1971), and ‘The Quest of Gilgamesh’ (1956).
