The Unexamined Orwell
ISBN: 9780292743885 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 415 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The year 1984 is just a memory, but the catchwords of George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four still routinely pepper public discussions of topics ranging from government surveillance and privacy invasion to language corruption and bureaucratese. Orwell's work pervades the cultural imagination, while others of his literary generation are long forgotten. Exploring this astonishing afterlife has become the scholarly vocation of John Rodden, who is now the leading authority on the reception, impact, and reinvention of George Orwell--the man and writer--as well as of "Orwell"...

Between Self and Society: Inner Worlds and Outer Limits in the British Psychological Novel
ISBN: 9781477312230 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Between Self and Society explores the psychosocial dramas that galvanize six major British novels written between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. The book challenges an influential misconception that has for too long hindered appreciation of the psychological novel. John Rodden argues that there should be no simplifying antithesis between psychological, "inner" conflicts (within the mind or "soul") and institutional, "outer" conflicts (within family, class, community). Instead, it is the overarching, dramatic--yet often tortuous--relations between self and society that...

George Orwell: The Politics of Literary Reputation
ISBN: 9780765808967 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 532 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The making of literary reputations is as much a reflection of a writer's surrounding culture and politics as it is of the intrinsic quality and importance of his work. The current stature of George Orwell, commonly recognized as the foremost political journalist and essayist of the century, provides a notable instance of a writer whose legacy has been claimed from a host of contending political interests. The exemplary clarity and force of his style, the rectitude of his political judgment along with his personal integrity have made him, as he famously noted of Dickens, a writer well...

The sociology of nation-building is also addressed.
