1. Author Spotlight:
Aldous Huxley
By Noble Newman

2. Aldous Leonard Huxley, born
in Godalming, Surrey,
England on July 26, 1894,
was a writer best known for
his novel Brave New World.
He authored nearly fifty
books throughout his life.

3. Born into a family of
writers and scholars to
Leonard Huxley and Julia
Arnold, Huxley’s early
childhood was
characterized by
education both in the
home and later at Eton
College.

4. Huxley’s first novels, Chrome
Yellow and Antic Hay,
published in 1921 and 1923
respectively, established his
satirical and cutting social
commentary.

5. Although he found success with
his novels, it was not until 1932
that Huxley wrote his first
dystopian novel — Brave New
World. In the novel, Huxley
explores psychological
conditioning and possible
negative social effects of
scientific progress. In 1936
Huxley continued creating
scathing satire of modern society
with the novel Eyeless in Gaza.

6. Shortly after this novel, Huxley
relocated from England to the
United States in 1937. His
subsequent novels contained
significant themes of social
commentary yet also reflected his
growing interest in peaceful
resolution and aspects of Hindu
spirituality.

7. Huxley’s satirical yet
insightful perception of
society has led to him
being one of the most
influential modern
writers by both his peers
and readers alike. His
extensive literary works
remain relevant even in
modern society.
