Description

Product Description George Orwell is regarded as the greatest political writer in English of the twentieth century. The massive critical literature on Orwell has not only become extremely specialized, and therefore somewhat inaccessible to the nonscholar, but it has also attributed to and even created misconceptions about the man, the writer and his literary legacy. For these reasons, an overview of Orwell's writing and influence is an indispensable resource. Accordingly, this 2007 Companion serves as both an introduction to Orwell's work and furnishes numerous innovative interpretations and fresh critical perspectives on it. Throughout the Companion, which includes chapters dedicated to two of Orwell's major novels, Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm, Orwell's work is placed within the context of the political and social climate of the time. His response to the Depression, British imperialism, Stalinism, World War II, and the politics of the British Left are also examined. Review 'This is a genuine companion. The essays are sharp and to the point; never outstay their welcome; and, unlike so much academic writing which seems to be more concerned to address a narrow field of fellow academics, is completely free of jargon. Orwell would have been delighted.' Peter Davison, The Orwell Forum'…the broad readership that his title will appeal to is well served by this accessible book that would be a welcome addition to both public and academic library collections.' Languages and Literature' … there are some interesting things in this volume. There is good introductory essays by John Rossi and Jon Rodden …' The Review of English Studies Book Description This 2007 Companion is a collection of essays on the life and works of George Orwell. About the Author John Rodden is Adjunct Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
