Essays examine Orwell’s stylistic and moral strategies, connections between “1984” and political ideology, and the dual purposes of Animal Farm, while also tracing “Coming Up for Air” and modernist anthropology. Editor Harold Bloom frames Orwell as a moral essayist and situates the volume’s critical range for readers seeking deeper
