About this title

Synopsis

This sequel to Rodden's study of Orwell's legacy, The Politics of Literary Reputation, considers Orwell's influence since 1984, the totemic year for Orwell scholars and admirers. Rodden examines the changing perceptions of Orwell during and after the collapse of the Soviet Union; the appropriation of Orwell's rhetoric by the Right and Left; and the controversies among Orwell biographers. In his chapter, "W.W.G.O.D.," Rodden considers Orwell's persistence as an intellectual and political emblem. Annotation �2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
