Brave, new UCLA

The UCLA Library has acquired the literary archive of the visionary novelist and essayist Aldous Huxley (1894-1963).

The collection contains literary materials he created subsequent to a devastating 1961 fire that destroyed his Los Angeles home and much of his earlier archive; correspondence, photographs and audio tapes; and typescripts and galley proofs retrieved from publishers after his death.

The English-born Huxley earned international renown for his 1932 book, Brave New World.

“Aldous Huxley was a close friend of the UCLA Library and its Department of Special Collections,” said Victoria Steele, head of the Young Research Library Department of Special Collections.
