A pre-eminent Orwell scholar's lifetime of work on the icon of modern literature

Trade Review
"Highly recommended."--Choice
"This pathbreaking study encompasses Jeffrey Meyers' stunning achievement in Orwell scholarship across four decades. Orwell: Life and Art is both a compelling work of literary criticism and a sophisticated psychological meditation on Orwell's embattled creative life. Best of all, Meyers' direct, hard-hitting prose eschews academic Newspeak and is 'Orwell-like'--not at all 'Orwellian'--in the style and spirit of Orwell's own plain-spoken language and bracing common sense."--John Rodden, author of George Orwell: The Politics of Literary Reputation and Every Intellectual's Big Brother: George Orwell's Literary Siblings
