Editorial Reviews
Review
"Orwell is the most influential political writer of the twentieth century . . . He gives us a gritty, personal example of how to engage as a writer in politics." ?New York Review of Books
"[Orwell] evolved, in his seemingly offhand way, the clearest and most compelling English prose style this century . . . But of course he was more than just a great writer. We need him today because [of] his passion for the truth." ?The Sunday Times (London)
"Had Orwell lived to a full term, he might well have gone on to become the greatest modern literary critic in the language. But he lived more than long enough to make writing about politics a branch of the humanities, setting a standard of civilized response to the intractably complex texture of life." ?The New Yorker
"The real reason we read Orwell is because his own fault-line, his fundamental schism, his hybridity, left him exceptionally sensitive to the fissure?which is everywhere apparent?between what ought to be the case and what actually is the case. He says the unsayable."
?Financial Times
"Orwell was the conscience of his generation." ?V. S. Pritchett
