Àííîòàöèÿ: Designed as a series to provide a comprehensive introductionto nglish, American and European literature, each title examies one particular form and period, discussing in detail the important writers andtheir major works in the contextto their times.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Four of a master-craftsman s finest plays: Time and the Conways, I Have Been Here Before, The Linden Tree, An Inspector Calls.

Àííîòàöèÿ: "One of the most notable and attractive forms of English Literature is the essay. In his introduction to this selection, first made for Pelican in 1942 and now enlarged and reprinted, Sir William Emrys Williams points out that the Essay, —has a multitude of forms and manners, and scarcely any rules and regulations.— Although many of the pieces chosen for this volume are such well-known ones as Charles Lamb—s —In Praise of Chimney Sweepers— or De Quincy—s memorable commentary on an episode in —Macbeth—, an endeavour has been made to remind readers that Addison, for example, wrote other and better essays than the few which are usually included in anthologies. Modern writers such as Hilaire Belloc, JB Priestly, Aldous Huxley, Robert Lynd, Ivor Brown, Harold Nicholson. EV Lucas, and VS Pritchett are given a fair share of representation."

Àííîòàöèÿ: In 1934, J.B Priestley described his journey through England from Southampton to the Black Country, to the North East and Newcastle, to Norwich and home. In capturing and describing an English landscape and people hitherto unseen in literature of its kind, he influenced the thinking and attitudes of an entire generation and helped formulate a public consensus for change that led to the formation of the welfare state. Insightful, profound, humorous and moving, English Journey captures Priestley's deep love of his native country and tells us so much about the human condition and the nature of Englishness.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Time and the Conways, a brillianty successful expepiment, shows us the same family in 1919 and 1937; the third and final act retuns to the happy family party of 1919... to shed a bitter, ironical light on the youthful hopes of the characters

Àííîòàöèÿ: A novel set in London during the Great Depression of the 1930s and dealing with the workers at a small import firm in the City.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Ben Sterndale is called in by an advertising agency to investigate a theft. However, when a newspaper reports a hit-and-run involving a philatelist, Sterndale suspects a link and finds himself plunged into a mystery as he tries to make sense of the stamp-collector's dying words.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Probably the most popular of Priestley's novels, The Good Companions was an instant best-seller when it was first published in July 1929, and, while JBP came to feel its success subsequently overshadowed many more important works, the book has remained popular. It was his third novel and it is certainly well-written and very readable. It is, too, an enjoyable romp, all about a stranded theatrical group the Dinky Doos rescued by Miss Trant and coverted into the Good Companions, and involving their adventures with such characters as Jess Oakroyd, the middle-aged joiner from Bruddersford, who breaks free from his miserable domestic existence, Susie Dean and Inigo Jollifant. It is the sort of long, colourful novel which was one of Priestley's hallmarks, and it is clear that Priestley enjoyed himself writing it. He regarded the job as not so much a task, more a kind of holiday.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The 1850s were not only the central and most characteristic decade in the Victorian era but also the time when Victoria and Albert were happiest and most popular with their people. In this beautifully illustrated companion volume to The Prince of Pleasure and The Edwardians Mr. Priestley surveys the social, political, industrial, religious, literary and artistic life of this decade.
