Specificatii
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 worth stealing. Thus, the intellectual battles over Orwell's
posthumous career point up ambiguities in Orwell's own work as they
do in the motives of his would-be heirs. John Rodden's George
Orwell: The Politics of Literary Reputation, breaks new ground in
bringing Orwell's work into proper focus while providing much
original insight into the phenomenon of literary fame. Rodden's
intent is to clarify who Orwell was as a writer during his lifetime
and who he became after his death. He explores the dichotomies
between the novelist and the essayist, the socialist and the
anti-communist and the contrast between his day-to-day activities
as a journalist and his latter-day elevation to political prophet
and secular saint. Rodden's approach is both contextual and
textual, analyzing available reception materials on Orwell along
with audiences and publications decisive for shaping his
reputation. He then offers a detailed historical and biographical
interpretation of the reception scene analyzing how and why did
individuals and audiences cast Orwell in their own images and how
these projected images served their own political needs and
aspirations. Examined here are the views of Orwell as quixotic
moralist, socialist renegade, anarchist, English patriot,
neo-conservative, forerunner of cultural studies, and even media
and commercial star. Rodden concludes with a consideration of the
meaning of Orwell's life and work for the future.
