Description
Analyses of Aldous Huxley's novels frequently reveal his
interest in both mystical thought and practice. Controversy
develops, however, when trying to identify how and when
Huxley first became interested in mysticism. Some critics
argue that Huxley became engrossed with mystical philosophy
very late in his literary development. Still others contend
that his interest in the world of the spirit begins in
Creme Yellow (1921), deepens with each subsequent work
and reaches a climax with Island (1962), his final novel.
This thesis supports the latter concept, drawing a parallel
between Evelyn Underhill's "Mystic Way'' and Huxley's
progressive involvement with mysticism throughout his novels.
