| | Orwell, George |
| | The critical essays and reviews that George Orwell (pen name of Eric Arthur Blair) (1903-50) began to publish in the 1930s are not "literary" in the familiar, narrow sense. | | | When T. Eliot is accused of writing for the few, Orwell remarks that he is one of the few contemporary poets to reproduce spoken English. | | | Often, respite from strenuous moral conscientiousness is embodied for Orwell not in art itself--he vacillates endlessly on the issue of art's autonomy from propaganda--but specifically in the pastness of past art. |

| | George Orwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Orwell began supporting himself by writing book reviews for the New English Weekly until 1940. | | | Orwell was shot in the neck near Huesca on May 20, 1937, an experience he described in his short essay "Wounded by a Fascist Sniper", as well as in Homage to Catalonia. | | | Orwell's concern over the power of language to shape reality is also reflected in his invention of Newspeak, the official language of the imaginary country of Oceania in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. |

| | Orwell's essays are wonderful windows into the mind of one of the most important individuals of the twentieth century. | | | Orwell complains/observes, however, that in WWII "a Nazi and a non-Nazi version of the present war would have no resemblance to one another, and which of them finally gets into the history books will be decided not by evidential methods but on the battlefield." | | | Overflowing with compassion for all humanity, Orwell wrote about events happening in his life as if he were reflecting on them years later. |

| | Only one thing is certain: Orwell was a man of his time. | | | But Orwell refuses to give up our species' and its eternal drive for understanding and self-improvement; positive attributes that Orwell instills into so much of his scathing honesty and subtle attack. | | | He thought that the English language was in a bad way and set about to correct it in ‘Politics & the English Language.’ “The English language,” says Orwell,” becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts…. |

| | Animal Farm Summary & Essays - George Orwell |
| | When Animal Farm was published in 1945, its British author George Orwell (a pseudonym for Eric Arthur Blair) had already waited a year-and-a-half to see his manuscript in print. | | | Although Orwell was an experienced columnist and essayist as well as the author of nine published books, nothing could have prepared him for the success of this short novel, so brief he had considered self-publishing it as a pamphlet. | | | The novel brought together important themespolitics, truth, and class conflictthat had concerned Orwell for much of his life. |

| | Through his unforgettable prose Orwell's honesty shines - The Washington Times: Books - October 17, 2004 |
| | The debates about Orwell are endlessly fascinating, as shown by this collection of 21 essays and speeches, "George Orwell: Into the Twenty-First Century." They were presented at a May 2003 conference at Wellesley College which, as Mr. | | | While Orwell really needs no explication du texte, there is value in a reexamination of a writer whose works, like those of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Edmund Burke and John Stuart Mill, have had so profound an influence on democratic thought. | | | I think Orwell's reputation continues, as these essays admirably demonstrate,because through his prose there shines a man of simple honesty with an extraordinary literary gift and a genius of imagination. |

| | Collected Essays, by George Orwell (part27) |
| | The greater part of what W.L. George wrote was shoddy rubbish, but in this particular book, based on the career of Northcliffe, he achieved some memorable and truthful pictures of lower-middle-class London life. | | | For example, Pett Ridge-but I admit his full-length books no longer seem readable—E. Nesbit (THE TREASURE SEEKERS), George Birmingham, who was good so long as he kept off politics, the pornographic Binstead (“Pitcher” of the PINK ‘UN), and, if American books can be included, Booth Tarkington’s Penrod stories. | | | In each of these books the author has been able to identify himself with his imagined characters, to feel with them and invite sympathy on their behalf, with a kind of abandonment that cleverer people would find it difficult to achieve. |

| | Collected Essays, by George Orwell (part15) |
| | If one looks through nearly any book that he has written in the last forty years one finds the same idea constantly recurring: the supposed antithesis between the man of science who is working towards a planned World State and the reactionary who is trying to restore a disorderly past. | | | In novels, Utopias, essays, films, pamphlets, the antithesis crops up, always more or less the same. |

| | George Orwell |
| | His wartime work for the BBC (published in the collections George Orwell: The Lost Writings, and The War Commentaries) gave him a solid taste of bureaucratic hypocrisy and may have provided the inspiration for his invention of "newspeak," the truth-denying language of Big Brother's rule in Nineteen Eighty-Four. | | | Orwell's reputation rests not only on his political shrewdness and his sharp satires but also on his marvelously clear style and on his superb essays, which rank with the best ever written. | | | Orwell's two best-known books reflect his lifelong distrust of autocratic government, whether of the left or right: Animal Farm (1945), a modern beast-fable attacking Stalinism, and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), a dystopian novel setting forth his fears of an intrusively bureaucratized state of the future. |
