BBC Radio Drama is the most prolific user of literature in the world and yet, once aired, the radio works fade beyond the public reach. Despite their artistry and prevalence, for this reason, they have triggered little academic comment as writing on radio tends, by and large, to focus on the medium's technological or sociological import. Neither do such radio adaptations feature as they could on the syllabus in schools or universities. This project proposes to create the first accessible catalogue of all adaptations made on BBC radio since its birth in 1922. It will not only detail what was adapted but indeed how it was adapted, offering a stylistic analysis of trends and the evolution of adaptation over the years in a thesis. It will also explore the essential but often unconsidered interface between adaptation and history, making clear how these radio adaptations are at once reworkings of an earlier source text and mirrors of their own era and its cultural values.In particular I wish to address the following questions:In moving works of drama, literature and poetry back into the oral tradition (or rather into a new oral tradition of dramatic adaptation) was the BBC consciously seeking to democratise the public's access to the written word?Has the educational background of writers, producers, commissioning editors and directors influenced trends in the dramatic output of BBC Radio?With the advent of mass television ownership and the increase in the popularity of music radio stations did BBC Radio seek to redefine itself in terms of an altered demographic?To what extent are the adapted works trying to create a coherent narrative of British history and character and to what extent does the dramatic output reflect changes in social attitudes to British identity and national values?

英国广播公司广播剧是世界上最多产的文学使用者，然而，一旦播出，广播作品就消失在公众的视野之外。尽管它们具有艺术性和普遍性，但由于这个原因，它们几乎没有引发学术评论，因为广播写作总体上倾向于关注这种媒介的技术或社会学意义。这些改编的广播节目也不像学校或大学的教学大纲那样具有特色。这个项目提议创建首个可访问的目录，包括自1922年BBC广播诞生以来的所有改编作品。它不仅会详细介绍改编的内容，还会详细介绍改编的方式，并在一篇论文中对多年来改编的趋势和演变进行风格分析。它还将探讨改编与历史之间的重要但往往被忽视的联系，明确这些广播改编如何同时是对早期源文本的重新创作，又是对其所处时代及其文化价值观的反映。我特别希望解决以下问题：在将戏剧、文学和诗歌作品移回口头传统（或者更确切地说，是戏剧改编的一种新的口头传统）的过程中，BBC是否有意识地寻求使公众接触书面文字的途径民主化？编剧、制片人、委托编辑和导演的教育背景是否影响了BBC广播戏剧产出的趋势？随着大众电视所有权的出现和音乐广播电台的普及，BBC电台是否寻求根据改变的人口统计重新定义自己？改编作品在多大程度上试图创造一个连贯的英国历史和人物叙事？戏剧输出在多大程度上反映了社会对英国身份和国家价值观的态度变化？支持文档。
