Abstract: |
Correspondence forms the
majority of this collection, ranging from 1897, with Julian Sorell Huxley (JSH)
and his grandmother Henrietta exchanging letters, to 1994, shortly before the
death of Lady Marie Juliette Huxley (MJH). The correspondence not only includes
letters from Huxley family members and many twentieth-century intellectual,
social, and cultural leaders, but it also provides extensive information about
Juliette Huxley and her myriad activities. Also included in the collection is
correspondence to and from Aldous Huxley, the majority being from Aldous to his
brother Julian. Of particular interest are some very early juvenile writings of
JSH, written in 1895, 1897, and 1904. |

Lady Marie Juliette Baillot was born in Auvernier, Switzerland, in a
village near Lake Neuchâtel, on December 6, 1896, and moved to England at the
age of nineteen to work as a French teacher for Ottoline Morrell. At
Garsington, Morrell’s home, she met numerous guests including Aldous Leonard
Huxley (ALH) and Julian Huxley. Julian and Juliette began courting in 1916, and
corresponded throughout 1917 and 1918 while Julian served in the Army Service
Corps and Army Intelligence during World War I. The two were married in 1919.
Their first son, Anthony, was born in 1920, and their second, Francis, in 1923.
Juliette followed Julian in his tenures at King’s College and the Royal
Institute in London during the 1920s and until 1931, when Julian resigned.
During Julian’s term as Secretary of the Zoological Society of London from 1935
until 1942, Juliette loved living in their home at the London Zoo. She enjoyed
walking among the animals and hearing them at night. In 1946 the couple moved
to Paris while Julian Huxley served as Director-General of UNESCO.
Juliette Huxley traveled extensively with her husband throughout the
1950s and early 1960s. She later published
Wild Lives of Africa (1963), which was based
on her experiences traveling with Julian during 1960 and 1961. The two
eventually returned to London, where Julian died in 1975. Juliette Huxley
continued living in London, surrounded by her own sculptures and the artwork of
their numerous friends from over the years. She continued writing as well,
publishing her autobiography
Leaves of the Tulip Tree in 1986. She also
continued to take notice of advancements in the fields in which her husband was
interested, including biology, conservation, humanism, and social evolution.
Juliette Huxley’s brother-in-law (and Nobel Prize winner), Aldous Huxley and
her two sons, among other life-long acquaintances, frequently visited her. Her
son Anthony died in 1992, which affected her own health. Juliette Huxley died
on September 28, 1994.

Series I. Correspondence, 1897-1994, and n.d. (6.25 lin.
ft.) |
|
This series, made up of 5 subseries, contains 10,957
total pieces of correspondence. The numerals in parentheses represent the
number of pieces of correspondence within that folder. Only those
correspondents who exchanged 5 or more letters with JSH or MJH are listed
separately. Date ranges are given for each folder. Otherwise they will be found
in the alphabetical folders. Researchers are encouraged to look for
correspondents by last name, first name, and/or first and last initial. |
|
|
|
Subseries A. From and to “Other” Parties (Not Family),
1897-1994, and n.d. (2 lin. ft.). |
|
|
|
This subseries consists of 4,497 pieces of
correspondence and is filed in alphabetical and then chronological order. The
correspondence in these folders is often addressed to both Juliette and her
husband, Julian, or to one or the other of them separately. |
|
|
|
Undated
correspondence has been treated somewhat differently. In cases where the decade
is known, the letters will be filed at the end of that decade. Letters where
the decade is not known are filed together at the end of each individual
correspondent’s name or at the end of the alphabetical files (i. e., N-R).
Letters with incomplete dates or where the addressee is not known can be found
both at the end of the alphabetical files (in the case of incomplete dates) or
at the end of this series (in the case of both). |

Subseries C. Huxley Family Correspondence, 1896-1993, and
n.d. (1 lin. ft.) |
|
|
|
This subseries is comprised of a total of 2,410 pieces
of correspondence. It contains the lifetime correspondence of members of this
large and talented family. The family correspondence is filed in alphabetical
and then chronological order by the name of the family member. There are no
letters from Julian Huxley’s grandfather Thomas Henry Huxley. However, there is
a folder of correspondence from Juliette’s mother to her daughter, as well as
letters to and from Julian Huxley’s grandmother Henrietta, his father Leonard,
his mother Julia, his brother Trevenen, and his sister Margaret. In addition,
there are letters from Julian’s half-brother Andrew, from Aldous Huxley’s wife
Laura, and a few from Julian’s other family members. See Series I, Subseries D,
Box 11 for Aldous Huxley correspondence. |
|
|
|
Undated correspondence has been
treated somewhat differently. Letters where the decade is not known are filed
together at the end of each individual correspondent’s name. Letters with
incomplete dates are filed separately at the end of each individual’s name.
|
|
|
|
A family tree can be found in the index for the
Julian Sorell Huxley papers (MS 50) and a card file appears in the first box of
the Julian Sorell Huxley papers (MS 50). |
