Orwell Reconsidered
George Orwell has had a profound influence on modern politics and culture. He is regularly invoked as an authority by journalists, commentators, and politicians, and his works speak with increasing relevance to our polarised and media-saturated society.
Stephen Ingle explores Orwellâs character, his life, and his beliefs by guiding the reader through the main events, private and public, that shaped his life and major works. This includes his time fighting in the Spanish Civil War as well as the writing of classics like Animal Farm and 1984. The book also reconsiders Orwellâs legacy and contextualises his contemporary resonance. Orwell, it is argued, is more concerned with morality than ideology.
Orwell Reconsidered will be of significant interest to students and other readers interested in Orwellâs life as well as his profound contribution to the history of social and political thought and English literature.
