Aldous Huxley's Point Counter Point?

Question

In this book, the character Philip Quarles was the author A. Huxley, while Mark Rampion depicted DH Lawrence.
Which Huxley's contemporary author was Walter Bidlake, Quarles' brother-in-law ?
Do you know other real person depicted in this book?

Answer 1

What a fascinating question! Here is a suggestion put forward by one reviewer of the book: "Two brothers-in-law, Walter Bidlake and Philip Quarles, are clearly projections of Huxley at different ages. They interact with each other and the other members of the large cast of characters. A third, diabolical character, Maurice Spandrell, is more or less Huxley's Jungian shadow. D.H. Lawrence is projected into the story as Mark Rampion, and John Middleton Murry appears as Denis Burlap. We are allowed inside the minds of these five men, letting us see the events of the story from many points of view. For that matter, we are allowed inside the minds of all the characters. In particular, we are allowed inside the mind of the frighteningly seductive femme fatale, Lucy Tantamount, who is a projection of Nancy Cunard."
