The Devils of Loudun by Aldous Huxley
In 1634, Urbain Grandier, a seducer and priest of the parish of Loudun, was burned at the stake. He had been found guilty of causing the supernatural possession of a prioress and her nuns. Despite torture he had refused to confess, and four years after his death the nuns were still "possessed".Aldous Huxley was born in 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties, but it was his first novel, ‘Crome Yellow’ (1921), which established his literary reputation. This was swiftly followed by ‘Antic Hay (1923), ‘Those Barren Leaves’ (1925) and ‘Point Counter Point ‘(1928) – bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society.
