AO3 — Context (why Priestley wrote it)

High-yield context links:

  • Set in 1912 but written/performed in 1945 (message to a post-war audience)
  • Class inequality + capitalism vs socialism
  • Changing attitudes to workers’ rights and responsibility
  • Gender expectations and “respectability”

Rule: use context to strengthen a point you’ve already made with a quote/method.
