Critics Review
‘There are no replacements for George Orwell, just as there are no replacements for a Bernard Shaw or a Mark Twain…he pricked, provoked and badgered lazy minds, delighted those who enjoyed watching an original intelligence at work.’ * Time *
George Orwell
George Orwell (1903 – 1950), born Eric Arthur Blair, was a teacher, novelist, and journalist. He also served his country, including in the Home Guard during the Second World War. He later became the literary editor of the Tribune and wrote for the Observer and Manchester Evening News.
The author of nine books, Orwell is best known for the allegorical Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian satire 1984 (1949). These works have gone on to become two of the most influential books of the twentieth century.
