Crome Yellow

by Aldous Huxley

Overview

We hear the history of the house from Henry Wimbush, its owner and self-appointed historian; apocalypse is prophesied, virginity is lost, and inspirational aphorisms are gained in a trance. Our hero, Denis Stone, tries to capture it all in poetry and is disappointed in love.

Crome Yellow is in the tradition of the English country house novel, in which a diverse group of characters descend upon an estate to leech off the host.
