An evaluation of 'An Inspector Calls' as an expression of J.B. Priestley's socialist principles. The narration focuses on the relevance of the play being set in 1912, a time that represented the exact opposite of what people were hoping for in 1945. Some of the characters in the play and what they represent are looked at. Eva Smith is representative of the working classes and Gerald Croft the aristocracy. These close textual references run alongside primary footage from the period to illustrate the social and political influences behind the play.
