George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) remains a book of the
moment. This Companion builds on successive waves of generational
inheritance and debate in the novel's reception by asking new
questions about how and why Nineteen Eighty-Four was written, what
it means, and why it matters. Chapters on a selection of the
novel's interpretative contexts, the literary histories from which
it is inseparable, the urgent questions it raises, and the impact
it has had on other kinds of media, ranging from radio to video
games, open up the conversation in an expansive way. Established
concerns (e.g. Orwell's attitude to the working class, his
anxieties about the socio-political compartmentalization of the
post-war world) are presented alongside newer ones (e.g. his views
on evil, and the influence of Nineteen Eighty-Four on comics).
Individual essays help us see in new ways how Orwell's most famous
work continues to be a novel for our times.
