About this product

Product Information

Previously published as Time and the Conways and Other Plays, J.B. Priestley's An Inspector Calls and Other Plays collects four groundbreaking works by a master playwright in Penguin Modern Classics.An Inspector Calls, written at a time when society was undergoing sweeping transformations, has been produced as a successful film, and enjoyed repeated revivals since it was first produced in 1946. While holding its audience with the gripping tension of a detective thriller, it is also a philosophical play about social conscience and the crumbling of middle class values. Time and the Conways and I Have Been Here Before belong to Priestley's 'time' plays, in which he explores the idea of precognition and pits fate against free will. The Linden Tree also challenges preconceived ideas of history when Professor Linden comes into conflict with his family about how life should be lived after the war.If you enjoyed An Inspector Calls, you might like Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

  • An Inspector Calls

    This book is on the GCSE English curriculum and as such I have bought my son a copy so that he can annotate it without getting reprimanded in the lessons and to help him to achieve his potential. I'm not a pushy parent, just someone who wants to provide the tools for my son as he studies. It is a good buy, being the best value I have managed to source with the ISBN number as provided by his school. I would recommend this book.
