These first two volumes of a projected six collect the complete essays of one of the major writers of the 20th century. "His reading was immense, his taste impeccable, and his ear acute....His place in English literature is unique and is certainly assured."-T. S. Eliot. Edited with Commentary by Robert S. Baker and James Sexton.
In this fourth volume of a projected six, Huxley registers his deep misgivings about the course of history in the late 1930s as the world moved toward a second global war. Many of his essays reflect his continuing interest in the conventions of popular culture as well as the philosophy of science and history, particularly as they inform developments in art and politics.
In this fifth of six volumes, covering Huxley's essays in the period of 1938-1956, Huxley continues to explore the role of science and technology in modern culture, and seeks a final level of foundational truth that might provide the basis of his growing interest in religious mysticism.
