5.0 out of 5 stars Priestley revealed 17 April 2012
By john rhodes
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a very readable biography detailing every aspect of Priestley's life and literary output.It was interesting to find how much influenced he was by his experiences during the first world war, but I didn't think it was made sufficiently clear whether it was they that caused his interest in time and ultimately in death. All this introspection is a little surprising in a man who had such a lust for the 'simple' life as evidenced both in his books and in his personal attitudes towards politics and a manner of living and loving. A very interesting man who I feel isn't altogether recognized as he should be for his influence on the English literary landscape.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight 2 Jan 2013

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A bit lightweight to be honest: no issue was really subjected to in depth analysis nor indeed any dialectic process
