Scope and Contents
John Boynton Priestley (1894-1984), novelist, playwright, broadcaster, believed Dunne's theory about time to be true, and used it in his play Time and the Conways. J.W. Dunne (1875-1949) wrote an essay, An experiment with time, on precognition and human experience of time. The letters to Priestley followed a talk on 'Time' on the BBC television programme Monitor.
