Of all the English writers of the twentieth century, Huxley is the one with the most highly developed interest in ideas. Throughout his novels and essays he is deeply concerned with the ethical implications of the question: How ought we to live? He is also one of the first writers to place his arguments against a background of sophisticated scientific knowledge. Indeed, this knowledge displays his preoccupation with the relationship between literature and science, an interest which ante-dates, by some thirty years, the post-war controversies centered on "The Two Cultures." In this book each of Huxley's major novels is placed in the context of his ideas and of the economic and political background of his time; by distinguishing his early, aesthetic phase from the defiant humanism of his middle period, Philip Thody stresses the importance of Huxley's relationship with D. H. Lawrence; while by analyzing Huxley's later views on drugs, mysticism, ecology and utopias, he underlines the brilliance, eccentricity and controversial nature of Huxley's thought. Here, too, Philip Thody presents the relationship between Huxley's books and his own personality. He traces the manner in which the novels reflect a working out of the tensions created in Huxley by the tragic events of his adolescence and early manhood, and he emphasizes the striking difference between the self-portraits offered by his novels and the image that other people had of him.
