George Orwell is watching you and you're watching him. Britain pays
its respects in the form of the Orwell Prize, the Orwell Lecture,
and, more recently, Orwell Day. A statue of Orwell now stands
outside Broadcasting House in London and he continues to tower over
broadsheet journalism. His ghost is repeatedly summoned in the
houses of Parliament and in schools across Britain. In Europe and
the US, citizens confront the perennial question: "What would
Orwell say?" Orwell is part of the political vocabulary of our
times, yet partly due to this popularity, what he stands for
remains opaque. His writing confirms deep and widely shared
intuitions about political justice, but much of its enduring
fascination derives from the fact that these intuitions don't quite
add up. David Dwan accounts for these inconsistencies by exploring
the broader moral conflict at the centre of Orwell's work and the
troubled idealism it yields. Examining the whole sweep of Orwell's
writings, this book shows how literature can be a rich source of
political wisdom.
