Product Description
Product Description
If ever a writer was moulded and fashioned by the environment into which he or she was born and nurtured, it was J.B. Priestley in the "West Riding of Yorkshire" before 1914. Through a selection of over 200 contemporary photographic images and biographical writings of the author himself, this book examines the influences of Edwardian Bradford which were at work upon J.B. Priestley in his most formative years, 1894-1914. We are given an insight into the pre- First World War Bradford way of life in which Gary Firth reveals a vivid, if transient, understanding of a great writer's 'lost world' - and so it was, for Priestley's early life coincided with the zenith of Bradford's golden age as a classic nineteenth-century provincial town. It was a unique experience in urban history and to one of its favourite sons a very special place indeed.
