  • Résumé

  • This Podcast analyses the historical, social, and political context surrounding J.B. Priestley’s play An Inspector Calls. It examines how the play’s setting in 1912, just before World War I, and its writing in 1945, immediately after World War II, contribute to its themes and message. The conversation also explores the play's depiction of class divides in Edwardian England and the rising influence of the "new rich," like Arthur Birling. Additionally, it examines Priestley's socialist beliefs and how they shaped the play's critique of capitalism. Finally, the exchange explores the literary context of the play, highlighting its use of the "well-made play" structure and its connection to the morality play tradition.
