The relevance of the problem studied in the article is conditioned by the fact that A. Huxley's works are regarded in the context of the modern theory of mimesis for the first time. The aim of the article is to analyze the author's problem as a corporal subject of Huxley's works in the context of the modern theory of mimesis. The leading method for studying this problem is the analytical anthropology of literature which allows describing mimetic features and the author's image as a corporal subject of Huxley's works. The main attention in the article is paid to the artistically embodied forms of the author's corporality. The article may be useful for philologists, philosophers, for developing courses and seminars on the history of the English literature, and also within courses on the anthropology of literature.
