George Orwell's essay examines the power of language to shape
political ideas. It is about the importance of writing concisely,
clearly and precisely and the dangers to our ability to think when
language, especially political language, is obscured by vague,
cliched phrases and hackneyed metaphors. In it, he argues that when
political discourse trades clarity and precision for stock phrases,
the debasement of politics follows. First published in Horizon in
1946, Orwell's essay was soon recognised as an important text,
circulated by newspaper editors to their journalists and reprinted
in magazines and anthologies of contemporary writing. It continues
to be relevant to our own age.
