George Orwell has had a profound influence on modern politics and
culture. He is regularly invoked as an authority by journalists,
commentators and politicians, and his works speak with increasing
relevance to our polarised and media-saturated society. Stephen
Ingle explores Orwell's character, his life and his beliefs by
guiding the reader through the main events, private and public,
that shaped his life and major works. This includes his time
fighting in the Spanish Civil War as well as the writing of
classics like Animal Farm and 1984. The book also reconsiders
Orwell's legacy and contextualises his contemporary resonance.
Orwell, it is argued, is more concerned with morality than
ideology. This book will be of significant interest to students and
other readers interested in Orwell's life as well as his profound
contribution to the history of social and political thought and
English literature.
