This collection of essays provides new readings of Huxley's classic
dystopian satire, Brave New World (1932). Leading international
scholars consider from new angles the historical contexts in which
the book was written and the cultural legacies in which it looms
large. The volume affirms Huxley's prescient critiques of modernity
and his continuing relevance to debates about political power, art,
and the vexed relationship between nature and humankind. Individual
chapters explore connections between Brave New World and the nature
of utopia, the 1930s American Technocracy movement, education and
social control, pleasure, reproduction, futurology, inter-war
periodical networks, motherhood, ethics and the Anthropocene,
islands, and the moral life. The volume also includes a 'Foreword'
written by David Bradshaw, one of the world's top Huxley scholars.
Timely and consistently illuminating, this collection is essential
reading for students, critics, and Huxley enthusiasts alike.
