Orwell: A (Brief) Life, by D.J. Taylor

GEORGE ORWELL, the pen-name of Eric Arthur Blair, was born on 25 June 1903 in Motihari, Bengal, where his father, Richard Walmesley Blair, was working as an Opium Agent in the Indian Civil Service, into what – with the uncanny precision he brought to all social judgments – he described as ‘the lower-upper-middle classes’. In fact the Blairs were remote descendants of the Fane Earls of Westmoreland. Like many a child of the Raj, Orwell was swiftly returned to England and brought up almost exclusively by his mother. The Thames Valley locales in which the family settled provided the background to his novel Coming Up For Air (1939).

Happily for the family finances – never flourishing – Orwell was a studious child. From St Cyprian’s preparatory school in Eastbourne, a legendary establishment that also educated Cyril Connolly and Cecil Beaton, he won a King’s Scholarship to Eton College, arriving at the school in May 1917. Orwell left a caustic memoir of his time at St Cyprian’s (‘Such, Such Were The Joys’) but also remarked that ‘No one can look back on his schooldays and say with truth that they were altogether unhappy.’ At Eton he frankly slacked, leaving the school in December 1921 after only a term in the sixth form. The following June he passed the entrance examination of the Indian Imperial Police and was accepted into its Burma division.

Orwell’s five-year stint in Burma is often seen as a mournful period of parentally-ordained exile. However both sides of his family were professionally attached to the Eastern Empire, and his stated reason for applying for the Burma posting was that he had relatives there. Almost nothing is known of Orwell’s time in the province, other than that it offered the material for two of his best-known essays, ‘A Hanging’ and ‘Shooting an Elephant’ and his first novel Burmese Days (1934). It also ruined his health. Although disillusioned by the Imperial ‘racket’ he had helped to administer, he left Burma in June 1927 on a medical certificate. The decision to resign from the Burma Police was taken after his return.

For the next five years he led a vagrant life. Some of this time was spent at his parents’ home in Southwold, Suffolk. There were periods teaching in private schools, living in Paris and masquerading as a tramp, the background to his first published work, Down and Out in Paris and London (1933). His professional alias, which combined the name of the reigning monarch with a local river, was adopted shortly before publication. His teaching career was brought to a close by a bout of pneumonia and at the end of 1934, having used a long, recuperative stay in Southwold to complete a second novel, A Clergyman’s Daughter (1935), he decamped to London to work in a Hampstead bookshop. This was a productive period. Here he met and married his first wife, Eileen O’Shaughnessy, and wrote a third novel, partly based on his book-trade experiences, Keep the Aspidistra Flying (1936).

The Orwells began their married life in a tiny cottage in Wallington, Hertfordshire, where Orwell worked up the material gathered on a recent tour of the industrial north into The Road to Wigan Pier (1937). Although the book’s second half consists of a long, inflammatory polemic on Socialism, Orwell’s political views were still not fully formed. The defining political experience of his life, alternatively, was the six months he spent in Spain, in 1937, as a Republican volunteer against Franco. He was wounded in the throat – the bullet passing within a few millimetres of his carotid artery – and was present in Barcelona when Soviet-sponsored hit-squads attempted to suppress the Trotskyist POUM militia, of which he had been a member. Spain made Orwell ‘believe in Socialism for the first time’, as he put it, while instilling an enduring hatred of totalitarian political systems.

Homage to Catalonia , an account of his time in Spain, was published in April 1938. He spent most of the next year recuperating, both in England and Morocco, from a life-threatening lung haemorrhage. At this stage Orwell was determined to oppose the looming international conflict, only changing his mind on the announcement of the Russo-German pact in August 1939. Initially Orwell had high hopes of the war, which he believed would instil a sense of Socialist purpose: this view was developed in the pamphlet essay The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius (1941). Rejected for military service on health grounds, he became a talks producer in the BBC’s Eastern Service, a job he came to dislike. The BBC’s atmosphere, he complained, ‘is something between a girls’ school and a lunatic asylum, and all we are doing at present is useless, or slightly worse than useless’. In 1943 he secured a more congenial billet as literary editor of the left-wing weekly magazine Tribune , to which he also contributed a column under the heading ‘As I Please’.

Animal Farm , his bitter satire of the Soviet experiment, was written by the middle of 1944. Publishers’ timidity, and the covert pressure exerted by a Russian spy working for the Ministry of Information, delayed its appearance until August 1945. By this time Orwell’s personal life was in ruins. Five months previously Eileen had died of heart failure during a routine operation. The couple had previously adopted a small boy, Richard Horatio Blair, whom Orwell, with the help of his sister Avril, determined to raise on his own.

Through his friend David Astor, he had already begun to explore the possibility of living on the remote Scottish island of Jura. Much of the last half-decade of his life was spent in the Inner Hebrides struggling against worsening health to complete his final novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four . After finishing a final draft at the end of 1948 he suffered a complete physical collapse and was taken away to a nursing home in the Cotswolds suffering from advanced tuberculosis. The novel’s enormous international success, on publication in June 1949, came too late for its author. He was transferred to University College Hospital in September and died there on 21 January 1950, aged 46. Shortly before his death he made an unexpected second marriage to Sonia Brownell, an editorial assistant on the literary magazine Horizon . Sitting down to read his obituaries on the day of his funeral, his friend Malcolm Muggeridge thought that he saw in them ‘how the legend of a human being is created’.

D. J. Taylor was born in Norwich in 1960. He is the author of five novels, including English Settlement , which won a Grinzane Cavour prize, Trespass and The Comedy Man . He is also well-known as a critic and reviewer, and is the author of A Vain Conceit: British Fiction in the 1980s , and an acclaimed biography, Thackeray . His critically acclaimed Orwell biography , Orwell: The Life (2003) won the Whitbread Biography Award, and he gave the 2005 Orwell Lecture entitled ‘Projections of the Inner “I”: George Orwell’s Fiction’. He is married with three children and lives in Norwich. Orwell: The New Life was published in 2023.

George Orwell

George Orwell was an English novelist, essayist and critic most famous for his novels 'Animal Farm' (1945) and 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' (1949).

(1903-1950)

Who Was George Orwell?

George Orwell was a novelist, essayist and critic best known for his novels Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four . He was a man of strong opinions who addressed some of the major political movements of his times, including imperialism, fascism and communism.

Orwell was born Eric Arthur Blair in Motihari, India, on June 25, 1903. The son of a British civil servant, Orwell spent his first days in India, where his father was stationed. His mother brought him and his older sister, Marjorie, to England about a year after his birth and settled in Henley-on-Thames. His father stayed behind in India and rarely visited. (His younger sister, Avril, was born in 1908. Orwell didn't really know his father until he retired from the service in 1912. And even after that, the pair never formed a strong bond. He found his father to be dull and conservative.

According to one biography, Orwell's first word was "beastly." He was a sick child, often battling bronchitis and the flu.

Orwell took up writing at an early age, reportedly composing his first poem around age four. He later wrote, "I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued." One of his first literary successes came at the age of 11 when he had a poem published in the local newspaper.

Like many other boys in England, Orwell was sent to boarding school. In 1911, he went to St. Cyprian's in the coastal town of Eastbourne, where he got his first taste of England's class system.

What he lacked in personality, he made up for in smarts. Orwell won scholarships to Wellington College and Eton College to continue his studies.

After completing his schooling at Eton, Orwell found himself at a dead end. His family did not have the money to pay for a university education. Instead, he joined the India Imperial Police Force in 1922. After five years in Burma, Orwell resigned his post and returned to England. He was intent on making it as a writer.

Early Writing Career

After leaving the India Imperial Force, Orwell struggled to get his writing career off the ground and took all sorts of jobs to make ends meet, including being a dishwasher.

'Down and Out in Paris and London' (1933)

Orwell’s first major work explored his time eking out a living in these two cities. The book provided a brutal look at the lives of the working poor and of those living a transient existence. Not wishing to embarrass his family, the author published the book under the pseudonym George Orwell.

'Burmese Days' (1934)

Orwell next explored his overseas experiences in Burmese Days , which offered a dark look at British colonialism in Burma, then part of the country's Indian empire. Orwell's interest in political matters grew rapidly after this novel was published.

War Injury and Tuberculosis

In December 1936, Orwell traveled to Spain, where he joined one of the groups fighting against General Francisco Franco in the Spanish Civil War. Orwell was badly injured during his time with a militia, getting shot in the throat and arm. For several weeks, he was unable to speak. Orwell and his wife, Eileen, were indicted on treason charges in Spain. Fortunately, the charges were brought after the couple had left the country.

Other health problems plagued the talented writer not long after his return to England. For years, Orwell had periods of sickness, and he was officially diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1938. He spent several months at the Preston Hall Sanatorium trying to recover, but he would continue to battle with tuberculosis for the rest of his life. At the time he was initially diagnosed, there was no effective treatment for the disease.

Literary Critic and BBC Producer

To support himself, Orwell took on various writing assignments. He wrote numerous essays and reviews over the years, developing a reputation for producing well-crafted literary criticism.

In 1941, Orwell landed a job with the BBC as a producer. He developed news commentary and shows for audiences in the eastern part of the British Empire. Orwell drew such literary greats as T.S. Eliot and E.M. Forster to appear on his programs.

With World War II raging on, Orwell found himself acting as a propagandist to advance the country's national interest. He loathed this part of his job, describing the company's atmosphere in his diary as "something halfway between a girls’ school and a lunatic asylum, and all we are doing at present is useless, or slightly worse than useless.”

Orwell resigned in 1943, saying “I was wasting my own time and the public money on doing work that produces no result. I believe that in the present political situation the broadcasting of British propaganda to India is an almost hopeless task.” Around this time, Orwell became the literary editor for a socialist newspaper.

Famous Books

Sometimes called the conscience of a generation, Orwell is best known for two novels: Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four . Both books, published toward the end of Orwell’s life, have been turned into films and enjoyed tremendous popularity over the years.

‘Animal Farm’ (1945)

Animal Farm was an anti-Soviet satire in a pastoral setting featuring two pigs as its main protagonists. These pigs were said to represent Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky . The novel brought Orwell great acclaim and financial rewards.

‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ (1949)

Orwell’s masterwork, Nineteen Eighty-Four (or 1984 in later editions), was published in the late stages of his battle with tuberculosis and soon before his death. This bleak vision of the world divided into three oppressive nations stirred up controversy among reviewers, who found this fictional future too despairing. In the novel, Orwell gave readers a glimpse into what would happen if the government controlled every detail of a person's life, down to their own private thoughts.

‘Politics and the English Language’

Published in April 1946 in the British literary magazine Horizon , this essay is considered one of Orwell’s most important works on style. Orwell believed that "ugly and inaccurate" English enabled oppressive ideology and that vague or meaningless language was meant to hide the truth. He argued that language should not naturally evolve over time but should be “an instrument which we shape for our own purposes.” To write well is to be able to think clearly and engage in political discourse, he wrote, as he rallied against cliches, dying metaphors and pretentious or meaningless language.

‘Shooting an Elephant’

This essay, published in the literary magazine New Writing in 1936, discusses Orwell’s time as a police officer in Burma (now known as Myanmar), which was still a British colony at the time. Orwell hated his job and thought imperialism was “an evil thing;” as a representative of imperialism, he was disliked by locals. One day, although he didn’t think it necessary, he killed a working elephant in front of a crowd of locals just “to avoid looking a fool.” The essay was later the title piece in a collection of Orwell’s essays, published in 1950, which included ‘My Country Right or Left,’ ‘How the Poor Die’ and ‘Such, Such were the Joys.’

Wives and Children

Orwell married Eileen O'Shaughnessy in June 1936, and Eileen supported and assisted Orwell in his career. The couple remained together until her death in 1945. According to several reports, they had an open marriage, and Orwell had a number of dalliances. In 1944 the couple adopted a son, whom they named Richard Horatio Blair, after one of Orwell's ancestors. Their son was largely raised by Orwell's sister Avril after Eileen's death.

Near the end of his life, Orwell proposed to editor Sonia Brownell. He married her in October 1949, only a short time before his death. Brownell inherited Orwell's estate and made a career out of managing his legacy.

Orwell died of tuberculosis in a London hospital on January 21, 1950. Although he was just 46 years old at the time of his death, his ideas and opinions have lived on through his work.

Despite Orwell’s disdain for the BBC during his life, a statue of the writer was commissioned by artist Martin Jennings and installed outside the BBC in London. An inscription reads, "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." The eight-foot bronze statue, paid for by the George Orwell Memorial Fund, was unveiled in November 2017.

"Would he have approved of it? It's an interesting question. I think he would have been reserved, given that he was very self-effacing,” Orwell’s son Richard Blair told The Daily Telegraph . "In the end I think he would have been forced to accept it by his friends. He would have to recognise that he was a man of the moment.”

Part - 3 • Winston is now a prisoner in one of the cells of the Ministry of Love - has no idea of where Julia is or what her fate might be - The door opens and O‘Brain enters - he is member of the inner party and Winston can expect no mercy from him. • He is subjected to several kinds of torture - in order that he should confess his crimes against the state - How many times he had been beaten,how long the beating had continued he could not remember -made to confess crime which he had never commited. • The punishment to which Winston is being subjected arouse in us both a feeling of terror and pity -There is a touch of melodram and sensationalism in the account of the beating and the mechanical tourture to which Winston is subjected.
• 21. • O‘Brain next acquints Winston with the kind of future of party - there will be no art, no literature, no science "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face for ever." • Winston - intellectually and mentaly surrendered to the party - his inner heart is still unconquered - This attitude calls for further curative or corrective tretment by the party. • Winston is taken to room no 101 - starving rats will shoot out of the cage like bullets - attack Winston in his face and will start eating into his cheeks and tongue. The cage survrv its purpose, winston has betrayed Julia and thus lost hia integrity. • The ending of the novel - extreamly pessimistic - Winston has completely converted - He loves Big Brother - thoroughly de- humanized. The love affair between Winaton and Julia also comes to an end. • Thus the party has achieve its purpose.

• 23. ❖ According to the Party, Goldstein is the legendary leader of the Brotherhood. ❖ BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU ❖ He seems to have been a Party leader who fell out of favor with the regime. ❖ The Party describes him as the most dangerous and treacherous man in Oceania. ❖ Used him as a prime example during the gathering of 2 minute hate Goldstein ❖ Protagonist ❖ Minor member of the ruling Party ❖ Thin, frail, contemplative, intellectual, and fatalistic thirty- nine-year-old ❖ Hates the totalitarian control ❖ Has revolutionarydreams Mr. Charrington
• 24. ❖ A mysterious, powerful, and sophisticated member of the Inner Party whom Winston believes is also a member of the Brotherhood, the legendary group of anti- Party rebels. ❖ Winston makes eye contact with this man during one of the 2 minutes hates O’Brien ❖ This is the woman that Winston hears singing when he is with Julia ❖ Represents Winston's one hope for the future; that the proles will unite to get rid of the party. ❖ oA symbol of fertility; that the woman's offspring are a sign for the future. The red armed problem woman
• 26. ❖ Totalitarianism is a form of government that attempts to assert total control over the lives of its citizens. ❖ The main goal was to warn of the serious danger totalitarianism poses to society. ❖ Notions of personal rights and freedoms and individual thought are pulverised under the all- powerful hand of the government. ❖ Orwell was a Socialist and believed strongly in the potential for rebellion to advance society, yet too often he witnessed the horrific lengths to which totalitarian governments in Spain and Russia would go in order to sustain and increase their power ❖ The title of the novel was meant to indicate to its readers in 1949 that the story represented a real possibility for the near future: if totalitarianism were not opposed, the title suggested, some variation of the world described in the novel could become a reality in only thirty-five years. ❖ Winston Smith sets out to challenge the limits of the Party’s power, only to discover that its ability to control and enslave its subjects dwarfs even his most paranoid conceptions of its reach ❖ The Party uses a number of techniques to control its citizens Totalitarianism
• 27. ● There are three major controls that a totalitarian party does in the Novel 1. Psychological manipulation 2. Physical Control 3. Control Of Information And History Control
• 28. ❖ Newspeak, the "official" language of Oceania ❖ functions as a device of extreme Party control: If the Party is able to control thought, it can also control action. ❖ Even though the year 1984 has passed, the book is still timely due to Orwell's vision and foresight. ❖ The decline of language troubled Orwell, who was a writer with political and historical agendas. ❖ If language could change for the worse, then truth could change into lies, and that was something that Orwell fought against, both in his personal life and in his writing. ❖ Mind control The Role of Language and the Act of Writing
• 29. ● One of the issues raised in 1984 is the idea that history is mutable or changeable ● truth is what the Party deems it to be, and that the truths found in history are the bases of the principles of the future ● if you tell a lie loud enough and often enough, people will accept it as truth. ● "Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past," ● Winston Smith's position in the Ministry of Truth - creating or forging the past into something unrecognizable to any person with an accurate memory so that each forgery "becomes" historic fact ● The novel makes the distinction between truth and fact and then explores the social- political-ethical-moral nuances of the evil manipulation of facts in order to control individuals and societies for political gain. The Mutability of History
• 30. ❖ By means of telescreens and hidden microphones across the city, the Party is able to monitor its members almost all of the time. ❖ Party employs complicated mechanisms to exert large-scale control on economic production and sources of information, and fearsome machinery to inflict torture upon those it deems enemies. ❖ 1984 reveals that technology which is generally perceived as working toward moral good, can also facilitate the most diabolical evil. Technology
• 31. ❖ Party seeks to ensure that the only kind of loyalty possible is loyalty to the Party. ❖ Neighbors and coworkers inform on one another, and Mr. Parson’s own child reports him to the Thought Police. ❖ In the end, the Party does make Winston stop loving Julia and love Big Brother instead, the only form of loyalty allowed Loyalty
• 32. ❖ Winston explores increasingly risky and significant acts of resistance against the Party. ❖ Winston builds up minor rebellions by committing personal acts of disobedience such as keeping a journal and buying a decorative paperweight. ❖ Escalates his rebellion through his sexual relationship with Julia - relationship is a double rebellion, as it includes the thoughtcrime of desire. Resistance And Revolution
• 33. ❖ The basic traits of establishing one’s identity are unavailable to Winston and the other citizens of Oceania ❖ Instead of being unique individuals with specific, identifying details, every member of the Outer Party is identical. ❖ All Party members wear the same clothing and same etiquettes - forming a sense of individual identity is not only psychologically challenging, but logistically difficult. ❖ Winston’s significant decisions can be interpreted as attempts to build a sense of identity Independence and identity
• 34. Symbols
• 35. ● Big Brother is the face of the Party. ● head of the Party ● Big Brother symbolizes the Party in its public manifestation; he is a reassurance to most people (the warmth of his name suggests his ability to protect), but he is also an open threat (one cannot escape his gaze). Big Brother The Telescreen ● the telescreens also symbolise how a totalitarian government abuses technology for its own ends instead of exploiting its knowledge to improve civilization. ● constant monitoring
• 36. ● symbolizes Winstons attempt to reconnect with the past ● Symbolically, when the Thought Police arrest Winston at last, the paperweight shatters on the floor. Glass paper weight St. Clement’s Church ● The old picture of St. Clement’s Church in the room that Winston rents above Mr. Charrington’s shop is another representation of the lost past. ● Winston associates a song with the picture that ends with the words “Here comes the chopper to chop off your head!” This is an important foreshadow, as it is the telescreen hidden behind the picture that ultimately leads the Thought Police to Winston, symbolising the Party’s corrupt control of the past.
• 37. ● The red-armed prole woman whom Winston hears singing through the window represents Winston’s one legitimate hope for the long- term future: the possibility that the proles will eventually come to recognize their plight and rebel against the Party ● prime example of reproductive virility; he often imagines her giving birth to the future generations that will finally challenge the party’s authority. The red armed Problem woman
• 38. Room no. 101 ● Room 101 represents the power of the Party and is the room where Winstons spirit is crushed. ● Room 101 is a presentation utilized by the party to show absolute dominance. ● It proves that the party has the power to totally ruin someone through the use of their deepest fear Rat ● Rats symbolize Winston's greatest fear. This fear is used against him by O'Brien, who tortures him with a cage of rats over his head so that he finally gives in.

George Orwell's 1984 Background Information and Context JC Clapp: English 102

About the Author • “George Orwell” was the pen name of Eric Blair. • Orwell was an Englishman born in India in 1903. He died at age 47. • Orwell was educated at Eton, a prestigious boarding school in England.

More About the Author • Orwell decided to skip college and work as a British Imperial Policeman in Burma • He hated working in Burma and returned to English on sick-leave • Once back in England he dedicated himself to writing full time. • 1984 was written in 1948

Orwell’s Political Views • He considered himself a democratic socialist and was critical of communism • He hated intellectuals, lying, cruelty, political authority, and totalitarianism • He strongly opposed Stalin and Hitler -- he was very outspoken during WWII

1984: Setting and Genre • Futuristic, cautionary novel • Setting: London, in the mythical country of Oceania, 1984 (in the future)

Characters: Winston Smith • Winston Smith: Main character and the narrator of the story. • Winston is a 39 year old low-ranking member of the ruling Party • He secretly hates Big Brother and harbors revolutionary dreams • Winston is thin, frail, contemplative, intellectual

Characters: Julia • Julia is Winston’s 25 year old lover • She is a beautiful, dark-haired woman who enjoys sex and claims to have had affairs with many Party members • She is optimistic and her rebellion is small and personal

Characters: O’Brien • A mysterious, powerful, and sophisticated member of the Inner Party • Winston believes O’Brien is a member of the “Brotherhood” -- a legendary group of anti-Party rebels • Winston trusts and admires O’Brien, but never quite figures him out

Characters: Mr. Charrington • A kind and encouraging old man who runs a second-hand shop in the prole district • He rents Winston and Julia a room without a telescreen so they can carry on their love affair • He seems supportive of Winston’s rebellion against the Party

Characters: Big Brother • Big Brother is the perceived ruler of Oceania -- he looks like a combination of Hitler and Stalin • Big Brother’s God-like image is stamped on coins and projected on telescreens -- his face is unavoidable

1984: Oceania’s Ranks • Oceania is a huge country ruled by The Party, which is led by a figure called “Big Brother” • The Inner Party (1% of pop.) control the country • The Outer Party (18% of pop.) are controlled by the Inner Party • The Proles (81% of pop.) are the labor power who live in poverty • The Brotherhood is an underground rebellion organization lead by Emmanuel Goldstein

1984: Newspeak • Newspeak is the official language of Oceania • The goal of the Party is to have Newspeak replace Oldspeak (standard English) • Newspeak eliminates undesirable words and invents new words -- all to force Party conformity

1984: Doublethink • Doublethink is the manipulation of the mind by making people accept contradictions • Doublethink makes people believe that the Party is the only institution that knows right from wrong • “The Ministry of Truth” (where Winston works) changes history, facts, and memories to promote Doublethink

1984: Story Overview • Winston is sick of his job fabricating and changing history at the “Ministry of Truth” • Winston has a sexual affair with Julia -- he trusts her and shares his rebellious thoughts with her • Winston wants to get involved with O’Brien, who he thinks is part of the Brotherhood rebellion • Eventually both Winston and Julia are captured by the Party
