Time and The Rose Garden: Encountering The Magical In The Life And Works Of J.B. Priestley - Peake, Anthony

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; J.B. Priestley is considered by many to be an old-fashioned playwright whose work is locked in a pre-war world of provincialism and whose ideas are way pas their sell-by date. In this book, Anthony Peake re-assesses the plays and novels of this fascinating writer. In doing so Peake argues that Priestley should be recognised as one of the most prescient of all middle century playwrights and that his ideas on time, consciousness, and mortality can be found in many popular blockbusters such as The Matrix, Vanilla Sky, Deja Vu, Sliding Doors, Butterfly Effect, and many others.
