This study demonstrates conclusively the continuing, and perhaps increasing, relevance of the work of George Orwell to the major social issues of our time. A self-proclaimed socialist and advocate of the government's assuming responsibility for the alleviation of poverty; Orwell had nonetheless an abhorrence - which was not diminished by his political convictions - of any communal security insured at the price of individual freedom. Orwell's ideological concern's were primarily defensive: he sought to preserve the integrity of the individual - and especially the artist - from forced adherence to any orthodoxy that would sacrifice both subjective (artistic) and objective (historical) truth to the exigencies of political goals." $22.00USD
