文档介绍：The Social and Political
Thought of e Orwell
From the playing fields of Eton College to the slums of Wigan and the
battlefields of the Spanish Civil War, e Orwell led a unique life
that found expression in a prose style of promising brilliance.
Stephen Ingle captures this range of social experience and political
vision in this fascinating new study, showing that although Orwell is
often read as a socialist, he is best understood as a moralist and
imaginative writer. This new reading, supported by detailed and
thorough analysis, enables the reader to explore key topics such as:
• the myths of working-class socialism
• socialism, family values and poverty
• the threat of totalitarianism
• patriotism and imperialism
• the nature of revolution
• power and the Intellectuals.
This is a stimulating new view of one of the most influential figures of
the twentieth century.
This book will be of interest to students of political history, politi-
cal theory and literature, as well as keen readers of e Orwell’s
writing.
Stephen Ingle is Professor at the Politics Department, University of
Stirling. His main academic interests are in the relationship between
politics and literature and in adversarial (two party) politics, especially
in the UK.
