Beschreibung
Aldous Huxley Annual is the official organ of the Aldous Huxley Society at
the Centre for Aldous Huxley Studies in Münster, Germany (see AHS homepage
at ). It publishes essays on the
life, times, and interests of Aldous Huxley and his circle. It aspires to
be the sort of periodical that Huxley would have wanted to read and to
which he might have contributed.
This issue opens with four unknown or little-known short stories by Aldous
Huxley: “The Nun’s Tragedy” (ca. 1921), “Over the Telephone” (1922), “Nine
A.M.” (1924), and “Consider the Lilies” (1954). These stories are followed
by a selection of lectures from the Fourth International Aldous Huxley
Symposium held in Los Angeles in July 2008, together with an article on
Brave New World as a parody and satire of Wells, Ford, Freud and
Behaviourism in advanced foreign language teaching. The issue closes with
another lecture from the Los Angeles Symposium on Huxley as environmental
prophet.
N.B.: The submission deadline for volume 9 of Aldous Huxley Annual is 31
July 2010. For further details see inside front cover.
