Description: Hope Lies in the Proles by John Newsinger Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A critical account of George Orwells politics, exploring his anti-fascism, criticism of the USSR and enduring commitment to socialism Publisher Description George Orwell was one of the most significant literary figures on the left in the twentieth century. While titles such as 1984, Animal Farm and Homage to Catalonia are still rightly regarded as modern classics, his own politics are less well understood.Hope Lies in the Proles offers a sympathetic yet critical account of Orwells political thinking and its continued significance today. John Newsinger explores various aspects of Orwells politics, detailing Orwells attempts to change working-class consciousness, considering whether his attitude towards the working class was romantic, realistic or patronising - or all three at different times. He also asks whether Orwells anti-fascism was eclipsed by his criticism of the Soviet Union, and explores his ambivalent relationship with the Labour Party. Newsinger also breaks important new ground regarding Orwells shifting views on the USA, and his relationship with the progressive Left and feminism. Focusing on the enduring interest in Orwell and his influence on current political causes, the book is ultimately a unique, nuanced attempt to demonstrate that Orwell remained a committed socialist up until his death. Author Biography John Newsinger is Professor of Modern History at Bath Spa University.
