In Dawn and the Darkest Hour, poet and author George Woodcock explores the famously complex life and career of Aldous Huxley. A brilliant and satirical novelist of ideas; a popular journalist and essayist on scientific and political subjects; a prophet of the future (Brave New World); a pioneer of psychedelic experimentation (The Doors of Perception), Huxley was a man plagued by excessive intellectual curiosity and a withdrawn melancholic nature. In the dramatic range of his characters and the encyclopedic quality of his thought, Huxley expressed some of the most interesting and disturbing commentary about the condition of human beings and relationship to society.

This striking and encompassing critical biography is a fascinating journey that provides a window into Huxley's life and character, that shows an intellectual continually striving for knowledge - intuitive, scientific and otherwise - and as such, is certain to renew interest in one of the most important and influential minds of the twentieth century.
