Crome Yellow is the first novel by British author Aldous Huxley, published by Chatto & Windus in 1921, followed by a United States edition by George H. Doran Company in 1922. Though a social satire of its time, it is still appreciated and has been adapted to different media.
Crome Yellow was written during the summer of 1921 in the Tuscan seaside resort of Forte dei Marmi and published in November of that year. In view of its episodic nature, the novel was described in The Spectator as "a Cubist Peacock." This was in recognition of the fact that it was modeled on (and publicized as in the tradition of) Thomas Love Peacock’s country-house novels.
