About Benighted
"Benighted" by J. B. Priestley is a novel published in 1927. When travelers seek refuge in an old Welsh country house during a storm, they encounter a family harboring dark secrets. Set in post-First World War Britain, the novel explores the era's pervasive disillusionment through characters Priestley described as "forms of postwar pessimism pretending to be people." Drawing on gothic literary traditions and inspired by "Jane Eyre," this atmospheric tale places ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances where hidden truths await discovery.
