George Orwell was renowned for his use and analysis of the English language. Anyone interested in language will find these six famous pithy essays instructive and engaging. The essays are: Politics and the English Language. Politics vs. Literature: An Examination of Gulliver's Travels The Prevention of Literature Why I Write Writers and Leviathan. Poetry and the Microphone This edition provides generous margins for the reader's notes. George Orwell (born Eric Blair, 1903, Motihari, Bengal, died Jan 1950, London) was a leading British writer of the twentieth century. He studied at Wellington College and Eton (1917-1921) where he was a King's Scholar. After Eton, he followed family tradition and joined the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, until 1927 when, disgusted by imperialism, he resigned to pursue his boyhood dream of being a writer. Orwell was a prolific journalist, essayist, novelist and nonfiction writer. He is remembered for his prescient writing and his unwavering commitment to truth and clarity of expression. His last two novels--Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four--have placed him at the pinnacle of British literature. He has been called "not the best, but the most important writer who ever lived." (The Economist, 2023)
