ABSTRACT

Dean Carlyle Albert King, b. 1907, educator, critic, editor, is Vice-Principal of the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada. He was chairman of Saskatchewan's English Department 1950-64, has edited Saskatchewan Harvest (1955) and A Book of Canadian Poems (1963), and has written Saskatchewan: the Making of a University (1959) and Extending the Boundaries (1967). King's article, entitled 'Aldous Huxley's Way to God,' is from the Queen's Quarterly, Spring 1954, lxi, pp. 80-100. As an introductory note to the original article points out, the argument 'challenges the fashionable academic view that Huxley was at his best in the earlier negative and cynical work.' Several opening paragraphs, where King reviews the 'sad-sacks' and cynics of the early novels, are here omitted. See Introduction, p. 29.
