Between the Wars Reviews

A sympathetic portrait of the writer...a new perspective on issues that were of concern to literary communities during this period. * Booklist *
Skillfully done...This gathering of essays and broadcasts reveals the range of his social and political commitments. * Publishers Weekly *
A journalistic miscellany...his keen perception comes through with unique immediacy and polymathic wit. * Kirkus *
For the centenary of Huxley's birth this year, editor Bradshaw, a fellow at Oxford University and biographer of Huxley, has assembled 28 previously uncollected articles published during the interwar years. Although Huxley is now primarily known as a detached satirist of human society and its conventions, thanks to novels such as Brave New World and Crome Yellow, Bradshaw argues that he was far more politically aware and sympathetic than his currently available work would indicate. * Library Journal *
