Orwell's "Politics and the English Language" in the Age of
Pseudocracy visits the essay as if for the first time, clearing
away lore about the essay and responding to the prose itself. It
shows how many of Orwell's rules and admonitions are far less
useful than they are famed to be, but it also shows how some of
them can be refurbished for our age, and how his major claim-that
politics corrupts language, which then corrupts political discourse
further, and so on indefinitely-can best be re-deployed today.
"Politics and the English Language" has encouraged generations of
writers and readers and teachers and students to take great care,
to be skeptical and clear-sighted. The essay itself requires a
fresh, clear, skeptical analysis so that it can, with
reapplication, reclaim its status as a touchstone in our era of the
rule of falsehood: the age of "pseudocracy."
