Speaking of Liberty
Fannie Hurst
par
Speaking of Liberty is a wartime radio program centered on liberty and its meaning. This entry is identified with Fannie Hurst, the American novelist and short-story writer, whose name lends a literary association to the program.
The title suggests a spoken presentation rather than a conventional dramatic series, inviting listeners to consider ideas of freedom and civic life. The available information identifies the date and Hurst, but does not specify the particular subject or format of this installment.
Its appeal lies in hearing a period radio voice address liberty as a living public concern, with the historical setting giving the program’s theme added resonance.
