.... As for the story, it is not at all surprising that Huxley chose to write about this particular episode in French history, as many of the events described exemplify themes that dominated his polemical novels and celebrated essays: present is the issue of man’s ‘ongoing obsession’ with self-transcendence which was so pertinent in the excellent, infamous ‘Doors of perception’; the dilemma that recurs throughout his fiction, that of the cloistered and suppressed mind dealing with passionate human emotion, is here in extremis. .....
