One Stop Notes for GCSE on An Inspector Calls

This book is designed to provide GCSE level students with all the key information they need to prepare themselves for study of An Inspector Calls by J B Priestley.
This includes an annotated version of the play.
This book explores and explains key concepts and outlines characters and themes. Historical context is key to understanding this play, and this is explained in full.
The play is ultimately about relationships between power and class, and how they affect society, not just in 1912, when the play is set, but indeed, as universal and timeless concepts which are very much reflected in the world, today.
An Inspector Calls is primarily a political play, pitching the newly emerging ideology of Socialism against the long established but conflicting ideology of Capitalism, using the vulnerable and exploited Eva Smith as leverage for the debate. It is a Socialist manifesto which claimed victory in 1948, with the establishment of free education, free healthcare and Welfare assistance for all.
This book has been developed through a decade of teaching the play. It provides everything in one place, as the definitive notes on this core GCSE text.
It is also an excellent resource for schools and colleges.
