An Inspector Calls production is often credited with single-handedly rediscovering Priestley's An Inspector Calls and "rescuing" him from the reputation of being obsolete and class-bound, although the production had some detractors, including Sheridan Morley [12] who regarded it as a gimmicky travesty of the An Inspector Calls patent intentions.

  • John Boynton Priestley
    Jerzy Gronau WĘDRÓWKI PO BIBLIOGRAFII ANGIELSKIEGO AUTORA [O nazwisku] PRIESTLEY JOHN BOYNTON {Pseudonimy: - Peter Goldsmith, B.K. Hill, Tom Oldfield, Peter Pomfret, John Boynton] *13.09.1894 - +14.08.1984 Breadford Warwickshire Kraków. 2011 Jerzy GRONAU - Wędrówki po BIBLIOGRAFII - PRIESTLEY John Boynton - 2 - Jerzy GRONAU - Wędrówki po BIBLIOGRAFII - PRIESTLEY John Boynton - 3 - Wstęp: Genezą tego opracowania były: - moja emerytura, wiek (rocznik 1924) i obecnie niepełnosprawność, - chęć powtórzenia swego rodzaju ‘zabawy umysłowej’ którą przeżywałem przy innych pracach podobnego charakteru, - konstatacja: o braku w polskim piśmiennictwie aktualnej bibliografii tego autora. 1. Od początku mej pracy nie posługiwałem się żadną bibliografią, lecz tylko danymi z katalogów bibliotek i sprzedawców książek. Dopiero przy znacznym zaawansowaniu opracowania, dotarłem do wcześniejszych opracowań bibliograficznych (podanych w źródłach opracowania) i uzupełniałem swoje dane. Żadna z polskich bibliotek tak naukowych jak i publicznych nie posiada nawet w przybliżeniu kompletu polskich wydawnictw tego autora. Podobnie jest też z zagranicznymi renomowanymi bibliotekami. 2 W języku angielskim ( także w niemieckim i francuskim) przy porządkowaniu wg alfabetu nazw - tytułów, zamieszanie wprowadzają rodzajniki: ”The, A, An” i inne. Stąd powstały tabele tytułów w języku angielskim ze skróconymi nazwami, bez rodzajników [jak w opracowaniach amerykańskich]. 3. Zaznaczyć muszę, że w językach angielskim, niemieckim i francuskim, wprowadziłem do tabel tylko nazwy spotkanych tytułów bez specjalnej uwagi na określone wydania książkowe czy czasopisma w których ukazywały się prace autora. Nie są to więc ściśle bibliografie a raczej - spisy spotkanych tytułów. Jednak w tabelach z tytułami angielskimi starałem się o wpisanie daty najstarszych wydań danej pracy, oraz nieraz uzupełniałem innymi wydaniami, zwłaszcza gdy nie dysponowałem najstarszymi danymi, lub nowsze wydania różniły się bardzo od starszych wydań.
