Priestley began placing his papers at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin in 1960, with additions being made throughout his lifetime. He is perhaps best known for his 1945 play An Inspector Calls. He was a founding member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in 1958. The programme was eventually cancelled by the BBC for being too critical of the Government. His left-wing beliefs brought him into conflict with the government, and influenced the birth of the Welfare State. In 1940, he broadcast a series of short propaganda radio shows that were credited with strengthening civilian morale during the Battle of Britain. Many of his plays are structured around a time slip, and he went on to develop a new theory of time, with different dimensions that link past, present, and future. His Yorkshire background is reflected in much of his fiction, notably in The Good Companions (1929), which first brought him to wide public notice. Priestly was an English novelist, playwright, scriptwriter, social commentator and broadcaster. John Boynton Priestley, OM ( 13 September 1894 – 14 August 1984), as pen name J.
