Biography Aldous Leonard Huxley was born on July 26, 1894 in Surrey, England; a disease of the eyes permanently weakened his vision at age 16, disrupting his plan to enter the medical profession; BA, Balliol College, Oxford, 1916; employed by the British government during World War I; schoolmaster at Eton College, 1917-19; staff member of Athenaeum and Westminster gazette, 1919-24; published his first novel, Chrome yellow, in 1921; went on to write Point counter point (1928), Brave new world (1932), Eyeless in Gaza (1936), and Island (1962), among others; was a prolific writer of essays, poetry, criticism, and screenplays; received D. Litt. from University of California in 1959; died on November 22, 1963 in California. Laura Huxley was born on November 2, 1911 in Turin (Torino), Italy. Laura studied violin since the age of ten, and as a teenager, continued her studies of the instrument in Berlin, Paris, and Rome. She eventually toured Europe and the United States, performing at Carnegie Hall and further pursuing her music study at the Curtis Institute of Philadelphia. During World War II, Laura decided to remain in the United States and live with her close friend --- sister to Ernest Hemingway's second wife, Pauline Pfeiffer Hemingway --- Virginia Pfeiffer. Laura Huxley's study in psychotherapy, health, and nutrition was prompted by Virginia Pfeiffer's diagnosis of cancer in 1949. Before her studies and career in well-being, psychology, and health, Laura Huxley worked in Hollywood. Aldous Huxley and his first wife, Maria, met Laura Archera in 1948 while living in Wrightwood, California. In 1955, Maria Huxley died of breast cancer. One year after Maria's death, Aldous and Laura were married in Yuma, California. Together, they moved into a home in Hollywood Hills on Deronda Drive. Finding Aid for the Aldous and 2009 2 Laura Huxley papers, 1925-2007 After their house and most of Aldous's personal manuscripts and library were burned in a fire on May 12, 1961, the couple moved in with Virginia Pfeiffer and her two adopted children. In 1959, before the fire, Aldous Huxley presented a series of lectures at the University of California, Santa Barbara called "The Human Situation." In 1961, Huxley repeated a variation of "The Human Situation" in a lecture series he presented at M.I.T. when he was the Carnegie Visiting Professor in Humanities. Huxley also spoke on "Human Potentialities" at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. In 1960, Aldous Huxley was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. Aldous Huxley wrote and published his last novel, Island, in 1962. He died on November 22, 1963, the same day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. In 1963, Laura published her book, You Are Not the Target. She also offered psychological health and well-being guidance in the form of workshops and seminars to various groups and individuals in Southern California. Laura went on to publish a personal account of her life with Aldous in a book titled This Timeless Moment in 1969. Her later publications include Between Heaven and Earth: Recipes for Living and Loving (1974), Oneaday Reason to be Happy (1986) and The Child of Your Dreams (1987), co-authored with her nephew, Piero Ferrucci. In 1977, she founded a non-profit organization called, "Our Ultimate Investment" (OUI) which later became "Children: Our Ultimate Investment." The organization sponsored conferences on the topic of "the nurturing of the possible human" in 1978 and 1994. Among the awards and acknowledgments given to Laura Huxley in her life are an Honorary Doctorate in Human Services from La Sierra University and the Thomas R. Verny Award from the Association of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health in December of 2003. Laura Huxley died of cancer on December 13, 2007 in her Hollywood home. Scope and Content The first 10 boxes of this collection consist primarily of business correspondence between Aldous Huxley and publishers Harper & Row, personal correspondence, and literary manuscripts. Correspondents include Jacob Zeitlin, Lawrence Clark Powell, Gerald Heard, Lewis Mumford, Hugh Trevor-Roper, and Lionel Trilling. Literary manuscripts include The devils of Loudon and Time must have a stop. Boxes 11-15 include the books from Aldous Huxley's personal library. These items are catalogued in the UCLA online library catalog. Following the first 15 boxes, the additions to this original acquisition (added between 2009 to 2011) consist of personal papers, handwritten notes, typed drafts of articles, essays and novels, galleys, day calendars, sketchbooks, drafts of previously unpublished essays, collected clippings, journal articles, off-prints, magazines, personal effects such as pens, eyeglasses, eye patches, memberships cards and a passport. The collection contains audio-visual materials such as sound recordings in reel and cassette tape formats as well as recorded film reels and VHS videos. The collection also contains photographs and assorted negatives. The first level of organization of the additions has been arranged into two record groups according to their creator, either Aldous Huxley or Laura Huxley. The series under each record group reflect the materials and intellectual content of the material therein. The materials organized under the record group "Aldous Huxley Papers" are organized into series that are slightly different from the series organizing the "Laura Huxley Papers," reflecting the slightly different nature of the materials within the record group. The first 10 boxes of the collection were arranged and assigned series at an earlier time than the additions. For this reason the series organizing these first 15 boxes do not fall within the organizational schema applied to the additions to the collection. Therefore the correspondence in this record group "The Aldous Huxley Papers" can be found under a few different series: 'Correspondence' (Box 1) and 'Personal: Correspondence' (Boxes 48-49). Within a series there are often subseries categories that further organize the material. For example, under the 'Personal' series of "The Aldous Huxley Papers" are the subseries: Correspondence, [last writings on deathbed], Family Related, Personal Effects, Recordings, Research Related and Sketch. The subseries under the series 'Personal' in the Laura Huxley Papers section of the collection include: Collected by, Correspondence, Early Life, Film, Personal Effects, recordings, Video Recordings and Virginia Pfeiffer.

Particular attention will be given to his portrayal of economic relations between first world powers and the third world in this novel. Furthermore, his fictional rendition of military intervention and foreign policy by the United States and Britain and the role it has played in the developing world during the 20th century will be the central focus of this thesis. Huxley’s claims and critique presented in Island of the process by which first world powers dominate international politics, world markets and peripheral economies through the use of military intervention and foreign policy will be supported by historical accounts.

    The Evaluation of Research In October 2008 the Italian National University Council (CUN, Consiglio Universitario Nazionale) requested all scholarly societies in the humanities to express their views on the evaluation of research. The paper below, produced by the Board of AIA (Associazione Italiana di Anglistica) outlining AIA’s position and circulated to all its members, was also signed by Compalit (Associazione per lo Studio della Teoria e Storia Comparata della Letteratura), by AIS (Associazione Italiana degli Slavisti) and by SUSLFF (Società Italiana per gli Studi di Lingua e di Letteratura Francese). The Research Dimension in Evaluation by all.2 Although its promoters tend to say that the classification does not have an evaluative As we start it needs to be remembered that the function, it has inevitably led to category “C” evaluation of research products is just one taking on a negative valence as the “recipient” dimension of evaluation. Other dimensions of everything which has not been placed in the include teaching and the contribution made to “higher” categories.3 The panels responsible the discipline in the form of participation in for the ERIH classification then argue that the colloquia and conferences, preparation of merit of each contribution is totally unconnected academic events etc. It is to be hoped that, in to the categories where the journal is “placed”: deciding the criteria for the evaluation of every category can host contributions whose products, those factors are not sidelined which intrinsic value is highly diverse.

  • Wisdom's Maw - the Story Behind the Story
    Wisdom's Maw - The Story Behind the Story Wisdom's Maw - The Story Behind the Story "If someone were to take you out - today - would anyone see the book?" It was an absurd question. But we live in absurd times, and so I paused in reflection and took a quick mental inventory of just how many copies of the manuscript were floating around the U.S. and England. In the final analysis - including published excerpts from the book (13) - there are far too many copies of Wisdom's Maw circulating "out there" to do anything about. For better or worse, the CIA will have to lie with its mistakes. There was a time, though, several years ago, late Spring of 1990, when I found myself worrying about the little things: the car that had been in my rearview mirror for several miles and many odd street changes, or the sonar blip somewhere in the bowels of my phone line to which I could set my watch, or whether this turn of the ignition key would be the last move I would ever make. Democratic Senator Daniel K. Inouye of Hawaii, in a closed door session of the Senate Intelligence Committee in 1978, deemed Project MK-ULTRA, "the most diabolical experiment imaginable in a democratic society." And from what I know now, from the four-plus years it took to research and complete Wisdom's Maw, I would have to agree. 1 of 4 Wisdom's Maw - The Story Behind the Story For over twenty years, several branches of the federal government of the United States of America - most notably the Army Chemical Corps, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation - sought as their ultimate objective nothing less than total control over human behavior.

  • Altered States: the American Psychedelic Aesthetic
    ALTERED STATES: THE AMERICAN PSYCHEDELIC AESTHETIC A Dissertation Presented by Lana Cook to The Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April, 2014 1 © Copyright by Lana Cook All Rights Reserved 2 ALTERED STATES: THE AMERICAN PSYCHEDELIC AESTHETIC by Lana Cook ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University, April, 2014 3 ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the development of the American psychedelic aesthetic alongside mid-twentieth century American aesthetic practices and postmodern philosophies. Psychedelic aesthetics are the varied creative practices used to represent altered states of consciousness and perception achieved via psychedelic drug use. Thematically, these works are concerned with transcendental states of subjectivity, psychic evolution of humankind, awakenings of global consciousness, and the perceptual and affective nature of reality in relation to social constructions of the self. Formally, these works strategically blend realist and fantastic languages, invent new language, experimental typography and visual form, disrupt Western narrative conventions of space, time, and causality, mix genres and combine disparate aesthetic and cultural traditions such as romanticism, surrealism, the medieval, magical realism, science fiction, documentary, and scientific reportage. This project attends to early exemplars of the psychedelic aesthetic, as in the case of Aldous Huxley’s early landmark text The Doors of Perception (1954), forgotten pioneers such as Jane Dunlap’s Exploring Inner Space (1961), Constance Newland’s My Self and I (1962), and Storm de Hirsch’s Peyote Queen (1965), cult classics such as Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968), and ends with the psychedelic aesthetics’ popularization in films like Roger Corman’s The Trip (1967).

  • Aldous Huxley - Wikipedia
    3/4/2021 Aldous Huxley - Wikipedia Aldous Huxley Aldous Leonard Huxley (26 July 1894 – 22 November 1963) was an English writer and Aldous Huxley philosopher.[1][2][3][4] He wrote nearly fifty books[5][6]—both novels and non-fiction works—as well as wide-ranging essays, narratives, and poems. Born into the prominent Huxley family, he graduated from Balliol College, Oxford with an undergraduate degree in English literature. Early in his career, he published short stories and poetry and edited the literary magazine Oxford Poetry, before going on to publish travel writing, satire, and screenplays. He spent the latter part of his life in the United States, living in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death.[7] By the end of his life, Huxley was widely acknowledged as one of the foremost intellectuals of his time.[8] He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times[9] and was elected Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature in 1962.[10] Huxley was a pacifist. He grew interested in philosophical mysticism[11][12] and universalism,[13] addressing these subjects with works such as The Perennial Philosophy (1945)—which illustrates commonalities between Western and Eastern mysticism—and The Doors of Perception (1954)— which interprets his own psychedelic experience with mescaline. In his most famous novel Brave New World (1932) and his final novel Island (1962), he presented his vision of dystopia and utopia, respectively.

The violent death of the young statesman over- shadowed the peaceful departure of the old philosopher. The public and the press have taken scant notice of his passing. Since I;tuxley devoted much attention and interest to the field of psychedelic re- search (he wrote three books and many articles on the subject), it is fitting that we should dedicate this issue of The Psychedelic Review to his memory.
