6. QUICK CONTEXT – add quotes where appropriate
Literature Paper 2
GCSE Literature
Paper 2 Fri 25th May
QUICK CONTEXT – add quotes where appropriate
J B Priestley wrote An Inspector Calls after the First World War and like much of his work contains controversial, politically charged messages.
John Boynton Priestley - born in Yorkshire in He knew early on that he wanted to become a writer, but decided against going to university as he thought he would get a better feel for the world around him away from academia. Instead, he became a junior clerk with a local wool firm at the age of 16.
When WWI broke out, Priestley joined the infantry and only just escaped death on a number of occasions. After the war, he gained a degree from Cambridge University - wrote his first play in 1932 and went on to write 50 more. Much of his writing was ground-breaking and controversial. He included new ideas about possible parallel universes and strong political messages.
During WW2 he broadcast a massively popular weekly radio programme which was attacked by the Conservatives as being too left-wing. The programme was eventually cancelled by the BBC for being too critical of the Government.
During the 1930's Priestley became very concerned about the consequences of social inequality in Britain, and in 1942 Priestley and others set up a new political party, the Common Wealth Party, which argued for public ownership of land, greater democracy, and a new 'morality' in politics. The party merged with the Labour Party in 1945, but Priestley was influential in developing the idea of the Welfare State which began to be put into place at the end of the war.
He believed that further world wars could only be avoided through cooperation and mutual respect between countries, and so became active in the early movement for a United Nations.

7. QUICK CONTEXT – add quotes where appropriate
Literature Paper 2
GCSE Literature
Paper 2 Fri 25th May
QUICK CONTEXT – add quotes where appropriate
An Inspector Calls is set in 1912
An Inspector Calls was written in 1945.
The First World War would start in two years. Birling's optimistic view that there would not be a war is completely wrong.
The Second World War ended in Europe on 8 May People were recovering from nearly six years of warfare, danger and uncertainty.
There were strong distinctions between the upper and lower classes.
Class distinctions had been greatly reduced as a result of two world wars.
Women were subservient to men. All a well off women could do was get married; a poor woman was seen as cheap labour.
As a result of the wars, women had earned a more valued place in society.
The ruling classes saw no need to change the status quo.
There was a great desire for social change. Immediately after The Second World War, Clement Attlee's Labour Party won a landslide victory over Winston Churchill and the Conservatives.

8. Literature Paper 2
GCSE Literature
Paper 2 Fri 25th May
QUICK CONTEXT – add quotes where appropriate Priestley deliberately set his play in 1912 because the date represented an era when all was very different from the time he was writing. In 1912, rigid class and gender boundaries seemed to ensure that nothing would change. Yet by 1945, most of those class and gender divisions had been breached. Priestley wanted to make the most of these changes. Through this play, he encourages people to seize the opportunity the end of the war had given them to build a better, more caring society.
