Presented in The Victoria Room

Our highly popular series of lunchtime lectures on great works of literature are brought to you by Dr Jane Mackay.  A graduate of three universities, Jane’s obvious love for her subject, penetrating insight, wit, warmth and humanity continue to enthral.

Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World', published in 1932, is one of the great novels about the dehumanising effects of scientific and material 'progress'. A brilliant satirist in his other works this novel responds more sombrely to a world which Huxley felt was spinning out of control.
