Considers George Orwell''s writing about the East, and the presence of the East in his writing.George Orwell was born in India and served in the Imperial Police in Burma as a young man. Orwell and Empire is a study of his writing about the East and the East in his writing. It argues that empire was central to his cultural identity and that his experience of colonial life was a crucial factor, in ways that have not been recognized, in shaping the writer he became. Orwell and Empire is about all his writings, fictional and non-fictional. It pays particular attention to work that derives directly from his Burmese years including the well-known narratives ''A Hanging'' and ''Shooting an Elephant'' and his first novel Burmese Days. It goes on to explore the theme of empire throughout his work, through to Nineteen Eighty-Four and beyond, and charts the way his evolving views on class, race, gender, and authority were shaped by his experience in the East and the Anglo-Indian attitudes he had

It argues that empire was central to his cultural identity and that his experience of colonial life was a crucial factor, in ways that have not been recognized, in shaping the writer he became.

It goes on to explore the theme of empire throughout his work, through to Nineteen Eighty-Four and beyond, and charts the way his evolving views on class, race, gender, and authority were shaped by hisexperience in the East and the Anglo-Indian attitudes he had inherited. Orwell''s socialism and his hatred of authoritarianism grew out of his anti-imperialism as The Road to Wigan Pier makes explicit. But this was not a straightforward repudiation or a painless process. He understood that, ''it is very difficult to escape,culturally, from the class into which you have been born.'' His whole career was a creative quarrel with himself and with his Anglo-Indian patrimony. In a way that anticipates current debates about the imperial legacy, he struggled to come to terms with his own history.

Produktinformasjon

Oppdag Orwell og Imperiet Med Douglas

Orwell And Empire av Douglas er en grundig utforskning av George Orwells komplekse forhold til kolonialisme og det østlige, bygget på hans erfaringer som ung mann i India og Burma. Denne boken gir leserne et dypere innblikk i hvordan Orwells bakgrunn og de historiske omstendighetene rundt ham formet hans litteratur, og avdekker kablene mellom hans skriveri og hans kulturelle identitet.

Hva Du Kan Forvente Fra Orwell And Empire

  • Fokus på Østens tilstedeværelse: Boken undersøker Orwells skrivestil og hvordan Østen påvirket hans verk, fra hans tidlige noveller som "A Hanging" og "Shooting an Elephant" til hans berømte roman "Burmese Days".
  • Imperiet og Identitet: Her argumenteres det for at imperiet var sentralt i Orwells kulturelle identitet og påvirket hans synspunkt på klasse, rase og autoritet.
  • Kritikk av Autoritarisme: Du vil oppdage hvordan Orwells sosialisme og motstand mot autoritarisme rotet seg i hans anti-imperialisme, og hvordan han skapte en litterær dialog med sin egen arv.

Et Viktig Bidrag Til Litteraturstudier

Orwell And Empire gir et unikt perspektiv på Orwells arbeid, og tilbyr innsikt både til studenter av litteratur og til de som er interessert i kolonialhistorie. Boken er ikke bare en akademisk analyse, men også en refleksjon over hvordan kulturelle krefter påvirker kunstnerisk uttrykk.

Uansett om du er en dedikert Orwell-fan eller bare nysgjerrig på hans forbindelser til imperiet, vil denne boken berike din forståelse av en av de viktigste forfatterne i det 20. århundre.
