The year 2003 was the 100th anniversary of the birth of George
Orwell, one of the most influential authors of the twentieth
century. Orwell's books are assigned today in over 60,000
classrooms annually. In this book essays by prominent writers and
scholars explain why his impact continues in a world much changed
from his own. The essays explore new aspects of Orwell's life and
work and his continuing relevance for the interpretation of modern
social, political, and cultural affairs. Thematic topics include:
the use and abuse of 1984; ideas, ideologues, and intellectuals;
biography and autobiography; literary and stylistic analyses; and
the reception of Orwell's work abroad. The volume is an ideal
secondary source for those who continue to be influenced by
Orwell's insights and for teachers of Orwell's work. Contributors:
