First edition. This collection of essays by one of the most perceptive of contemporary English critics has the impact of a single unifying idea. Mr. Orwell's studies in popular culture deal with writers, painters, prophets, illustrators and social commentators. With the exception of W. B. Yeats and Arthur Koestler, the people of whom he writes have all reached a large section of the public. In some cases their influence on popular consciousness has been enormous. The most extended of the essays is devoted to Charles Dickens. The fact that he has been equally claimed by liberals, radicals and conservatives is the subject of this study in misunderstanding. The treatment of H. G. Wells is particularly timely in its indication of the factors responsible for Wells' recent defection from his lifelong belief in scientific progress as a cure-all for the world's ills. Salvador Dali is subjected to a more merciless dissection than is usual in the case of this exponent of chi-chi and surrealism. There are spirited defences of certain aspects of the life and work of two currently unpopular writers, Kipling and P. G. Wodehouse. Barely visible small damp stain at corner of bottom edge of front cover and a little dampstain along bottom edge of back cover. (See photos) They are minimal. Dust jacket is sturdy, a little shallow chipping at top and bottom edges of spine. 1/2" closed tear. Small 8vo. 7-3/4" x 5-1/2". Cream colored cloth covered boards stamped in gray. 243 pp.
