Orwell and England : Selected Essays Hardback
by George Orwell
Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series
Hardback
Description
George Orwell, perhaps one of the most perceptive writers of the twentieth century, wrote extensively about English life and politics.
This selection of his essays and journalism brings together his most provocative and insightful writing on England and Englishness.
Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.
These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
This edition is edited and introduced by Professor Michael Gardiner. Orwell’s interests were broad. He often wrote about everyday concerns such as transport, food and the weather.
Turning to social issues, he exposed the plight of the poor and the unemployed.
He dissected the idea of nationalism and he examined the failings of the Left.
What emerges from his acute observation of English rituals, habits and attitudes is his belief that these are the very things with which the English people can defend themselves against oppression.
His writing remains insightful and prescient to this day.
