Young Oxford tutor Theodore Gumbril has become thoroughly dismayed by the formality of college life and the staid British institutions of learning. An impetuous need for celebration, even rebellion, possesses him. He and his bohemian companions embark on wild and daring ´´bacchanalian´´ adventures that steer them resolutely away from stifling conventions of behavior.Antic Hay, first published in 1923, is one of Aldous Huxley´s earlier novels, and like them is primarily a ´novel of ideas´ involving conversations which disclose viewpoints rather than establish characters; its polemical theme unfolds against the backdrop of London´s post-war nihilistic Bohemia. This is Huxley at his biting, brilliant best -- a novel, loud with derisive laughter, which satirically scoffs at all conventional morality and at stuffy people everywhere -- a novel that´s always charged with excitement. 1.
