Reader's note

Antic Hay is a satirical masterpiece which takes its title from one of Marlowe’s couplets: My men, like satyrs grazing on the lawns, Shall with their goat-feet dance the antic hay. The palace and period of the story in London in the years immediately after the 1914-18 war, years of disillusion and excess in which old values were submerged in a tidal wave of cynicism. They live a crazy life, these artists adrift, intellectuals who have lost their bearings, and women who try to forget their grades in the pursuit of a good time. Huxley has drawn these rakes and escapists with such precision and colour that some of his cristis were misled into the assumption that he approved theri attitude to life. But although Huxley is too good a novelist to deliver a sermon, there is no doubt of his satirical international in portraying this period of disruption, and among the satyrs there are to be found men of goodwill (and good humour) who, like Theodore Gumbril, are recovering a true vision of life.
