Political and Cultural Perceptions of George Orwell

- British and American Views

Bag om Political and Cultural Perceptions of George Orwell

This book analyzes George Orwell¿s politics and their reception across both sides of the Atlantic. It considers Orwell¿s place in the politics of his native Britain and his reception in the USA, where he has had some of his most fervent emulators, exegetists, and detractors. Written by an ex ¿teenage Maoist¿ from Liverpool, UK, who now lives and writes in New York, the book points out how often the different strands of opinion derive from ¿ancestral¿ ideological struggles within the Communist/Trotskyist movement in the 30¿s, and how these often overlook or indeed consciously ignore the indigenous British politics and sociology that did so much to influence Orwell¿s political and literary development. It examines in the modern era what Orwell did in his¿the seductions of simplistic and absolutist ideologies for some intellectuals, especially in their reactions to Orwell himself.
