Description

Explore the cultural impact of the talking book in this scholarly collection from Routledge. As a part of the Research in Cultural and Media Studies series, this volume offers the first academic examination of the significance of audio literature since the invention of the phonograph in 1877. With modern sound technology advancing rapidly, this work provides a timely look at how our reading practices have changed over time. The collection investigates how auditory literature adapts printed texts and examines the specific listening skills required to receive these works. By studying the evolution of sound reproduction from the earliest machines to today, readers can better understand the social consequences of new listening technologies. This is a vital resource for those studying the history of media, literature, and the evolution of human communication through sound.
