A very timely and readable study of an under-researched
figure
in 20th century British
history. Written in an accessible and eloquent style, this book not only fills a gap in Priestley
scholarship, it contributes to our understanding of 20th century Britain and Englishness
Professor Judy Giles, York St John University College
Priestley s England is the first full-iength academic study of J. B. Priestley
-
novelist,
playwright, screen-writer, journalist and broadcaster, political activist, public intellectual and
popular entertainer, one of the makers of twentieth-century Britain, and one of its sharpest
critics. From his scathing analysis of a slump-stricken nation in the best-selling English
Journey, to his popular wartime broadcasts which paved the way to
1945
and the Welfare
State, his post-war critique of Admass and the Cold War (he was a co-founder of
CND),
and his continual engagement with the question of Englishness , Priestley addressed the
key issues of the century from a radical standpoint in fiction, journalism and plays which
appealed to a wide audience and made him one of the most successful writers of his day.
Priestley s England explores the cultural, literary and political history of twentieth-century
Britain through the themes which preoccupied Priestley throughout his life: competing
versions of Englishness; tradition, modernity, and the decline of industrial England;
Américanisation ,
mass culture and Admass ; cultural values and broadbrow culture;
consumerism and the decay of the public sphere; the loss of spirituality and community in
the nervous excitement, the frenzy, the underlying despair of our century . It argues that
Priestley has been unjustly neglected for too long: we have a great deal to learn both from
this extraordinary, multi-faceted man, and from the English radical tradition he represented.
This book will appeal to all those interested in the culture and politics of twentieth-century
Britain, in the continuing debates over Englishness to which Priestley made such a key
contribution, and in the life and work of one of the most remarkable and popular writers of
the past century.
