This book analyzes George Orwell's politics and their reception
across both sides of the Atlantic. It considers Orwell's place in
the politics of his native Britain and his reception in the USA,
where he has had some of his most fervent emulators, exegetists,
and detractors. Written by an ex "teenage Maoist" from Liverpool,
UK, who now lives and writes in New York, the book points out how
often the different strands of opinion derive from "ancestral"
ideological struggles within the Communist/Trotskyist movement in
the 30's, and how these often overlook or indeed consciously ignore
the indigenous British politics and sociology that did so much to
influence Orwell's political and literary development. It examines
in the modern era what Orwell did in his-the seductions of
simplistic and absolutist ideologies for some intellectuals,
especially in their reactions to Orwell himself.
