The Life and Times and Major Works of George Orwell, and His Warnings For Our Own Age

The writer George Orwell spent his life investigating the perceived cruelty of overbearing authority, and after leaving Eton College often lived and worked in unconventional locations. This course studies the evolution of his literary themes, starting out with the poverty of ordinary people, to a wider interest in British life, culture and countryside, to Orwell's eventual despair at the political and social restrictions likely to be imposed on those same people for their supposed good.
