Wow! Maybe you are right. But, for me, Huxley's "Brave New Wworld" was one of the first nevels that made look elswhere for answers. Most critics would say that "Brave New World" was the first anti socialist, anti left novel in the 20th century.

Absolutely NO book reviewer, not a one, not a single, solitary soul,at the time the book was published, said that " BRAVE NEW WORLDS " was the first anti-Socialist, anti-left wing novel of the 20th century. You still will not find such a critique ! This is how you see the book. By-the-by, this was NOT , by anymeans, the " first " bit of Marxist / Socialist fiction written in the 20th century. I can name you quite a number of others ; some of which are even older. As a matter of fact, a lot of Dickens' work is overtly bleeding heart LEFTY ... just not quite Marxist.

You are not only rather young,but literature and the crituqe thereof, is obviously not your area of expertise. Please refrain from posting about things which you know very little to nothing about. You just keep embarassing yourself and you shouldn't, since your view of this novel is in keeping with Conservative thought. It's just that it is not and never has been the prevailing position of critics, teachers, etc. !

On FR, you're going to continually run into people who actually ARE " expert ", on topics discussed. Your bad fortune, is that I ( who am an " expert " in this area ) found this thread. LOL
