Spanning over the whole of Priestley's long career as a playwright, novelist, journalist, broadcaster and critic (from the 1930s to the 1970s), Fagge successfully highlights and discusses the themes that were closest to Priestley's heart. Scrutinising a wide range of sources, the author provides us with a very thorough and challenging analysis of the tremendous contribution made by J.B. Priestley to twentieth-century literature and thought. The reading of The Vision of J.B Priestley gives us an in-depth understanding of Priestley's philosophy and of his vision of the world he lived in but also sheds light on the central political, cultural and social issues of the twentieth century.
