Review:
"The rediscovery of Priestley as both novelist and playwright is long overdue. As a writer of fiction he belongs in a great English realist tradition that includes Bennett, Wells and Galsworthy. As a dramatist, he had a rare capacity to explore ideas and paint a vision of a better future. He is due for re-evaluation and the re-publication of Bright Day is a vital stage in that process." Michael Billington, Arts Critic, The Guardian."
About the Author:
John Boynton Priestley (1894-1984) was pre-eminently a dramatist and a novelist. Many of his works have become 20th century literary classics, among them 'The Good Companions', 'Angel Pavement', 'An Inspector Calls' and 'Time and the Conways'. He was a founder of the campaign for nuclear disarmament and a champion of public lending rights. In literary, social and political terms he was very much 'a man for all seasons'. Lee Hanson is an expert on J B Priestley's life and work. A teacher of English at Bradford Grammar School, he is a member of the J B Priestley Society. David Joy acted as researcher for the anthology 'J B Priestley's Yorkshire'. Former editor of Dalesman magazine, he is an acknowledged expert on Yorkshire and the Dales.
