Aldous Huxley

4.9/5 (29528 ratings)

Description:Papers presented at the International Aldous Huxley Centenary Symposium held at the University of Münster, 26-29 June, 1994.Over the course of his long career, British writer Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) shifted away from elitist social satires & an uncompromising irreligion toward greater concern for the masses & the use of religious terms & imagery. This change in Huxley's thinking underpins the previously unpublished play Now More Than Ever. Written in 1932-1933 just after Brave New World, Now More Than Ever is a response to the social, economic and political upheavals of its time. Huxley's protagonist is an idealistic financier whose grandiose scheme for industrial renewal drives him to swindling & finally to suicide. His fate allows Huxley to expose the evils he perceives in free-market capitalism while pleading the case for national economic planning & the rationalization of Britain's industrial base. This volume contains the full text of Now More Than Ever, a play hitherto believed to be lost. A "thinker's play," it is the last of Huxley's major writings to be published & immensely important to understanding his development as a writer. The editors of this volume have annotated the play for contemporary readers. Their introduction sets the play in the context of Huxley's intellectual life.Contents: Huxley as a modern writer and thinker - Proceedings of the International Aldous Huxley Centenary Symposium (Muenster 1994) - Including rediscovered and hitherto unpublished Huxley material - Great variety of topics, such as biography, literature and the arts, society and politics, Utopian thought, religion, philosophy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
