Opis

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.§
