George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times
The book transcends the dead end topic of 'race'--an issue that necessarily invites conflict--and concentrates instead upon culture, in all its nebulous, universal and unmistakable influence.--Pacific Reader
Joseph Addison's collection of 'Essays and Tales' includes his most famous works, such as the character of Isaac Bickerstaff in 'The Tatler' and Sir Roger de Coverley in 'The Spectator'. This volume focuses on Addison's literary criticism and analysis of good style, taste, and principles in writing, while also containing political commentary on the state of the country. Addison's calm and benign criticism is never personal and seeks to soften the harsh lines of life, abate its follies, and inspire the temper that alone can overcome its wrongs.
