Encyclopedia > Leonard Huxley

Leonard Huxley (1860 - 1933) was a British writer and editor.


His father was the biologist Thomas Henry Huxley.


He married firstly Julia Arnold, a sister of the novelist Mrs. Humphrey Ward, niece of the poet Matthew Arnold, and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby School who was immortalised as a character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays. Their four children included the biologist Sir Julian Sorell Huxley and the writer Aldous Leonard Huxley.


After the death of his first wife, Leonard married Rosalind Bruce (said to be related in some way to Robert the Bruce), and had two further sons. The younger of these was the physiologist Andrew Fielding Huxley.

Aldous Huxley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1564 words)
He was the son of the writer Leonard Huxley by his first wife, Julia Arnold; and grandson Thomas Henry Huxley, one of the most important naturalists of the 19th Century, a man known as "Darwin's Bulldog." His brother Julian Huxley was a biologist also noted for his evolutionary theories.
Huxley understandably excelled in the areas he took up professionally, for on his father's side were a number of noted men of science, while on his mother's were people of literary accomplishment.
Huxley's wife, Maria, died of breast cancer in 1955, and in 1956 he remarried, to Laura Archera, who was herself an author and who wrote a biography of Aldous.
