Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers ![]() ![]() Orwell's proposition is that modern English, especially written English, is so corrupted by bad habits that it has become impossible to think clearly. Over the years, I've gone back to it repeatedly, like a student visiting an old professor who always has something new to reveal. It was then, in 1946, that Orwell wrote his great essay, "Politics and the English Language," which I first read as a freshman at Tulane University and immediately adopted as my guide. ![]() Orwell's own country, England, was suffering through a political crisis, as it struggled to find the will to resist the new threat. But through most of his career, Orwell was known for his journalism and his rigorous, unsparing essays, which documented a time that seems in some ways so much like our own.Īt the end of World War II, one form of totalitarianism - fascism - had been defeated but another - communism - was spreading across Europe and Asia. Most people these days think of George Orwell as a writer for high-school students, since his reputation rests mostly on two late novels - Animal Farm and 1984 - that are seldom read outside the classroom.
