Reluctant Modernists Aldous Huxley and Some Contemporaries

This collection of essays is about modernist writers who believe that it is just as important to look backward as it is to look forward. Indeed, for most, looking backward is more important because it is only through the past that one can understand one's proper place in the present and in the future. That is why Huxley's Brave New World rejects the past in the future-and by implication in the present-where it makes its satire so penetrating.Firchow, Peter Edgerly is the author of 'Reluctant Modernists Aldous Huxley and Some Contemporaries' with ISBN 9783825859626 and ISBN 3825859622.
