An Inspector Calls: Context
Subjects / English / J. B. Priestley - An Inspector Calls
In this title you will be introduced to the play An Inspector Calls by J.B. Priestley. The first chapter will provide you with a brief overview of the plot, giving an overall sense of the play. Since the play carries a political message, it is important to understand some of the historical background of the times in which Priestley was writing. The class system is an example of this as it was much more rigid than it is today. The absence of a Welfare State and the lack of rights for workers made life for the working classes much more difficult than in present times. The idea of the play in performance is also discussed. Priestley intended his play to be seen, and watching a performance adds a new dimension to your understanding of the play.
