George Orwell is a writer who has been appropriated by very
different political regimes and opinions, pressed into service as
his various critics have seen fit. Though a polemicist and satirist
at heart, his anti-totalitarian ideals are expounded with deft
story-telling and a simplicity that belies the ultimately complex
debates to which he gave voice. The changing responses to his two
classic novels, Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-four (1949),
provide an illuminating account of the developing preoccupations of
the second half of the 20th century. In this Readers' Guide, Daniel
Lea takes a decisive path through the maze of interpretations that
has accumulated around Orwell's best-known novels, examining
critical reactions from the beginning of the Cold War through to
the collapse of Communist Eastern Europe, and at the same time
placing Orwell within a long tradition of dystopian writings. In
exploringthe artistic, cultural and social contexts of Orwell's
work, it is an essential resource for students and general readers
alike.
