ORWELL, George.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

The English People. First edition of Orwell's essay, commissioned by Collins in 1943 to promote British values and describe British life during the Second World War, although not published until after its conclusion. Though Orwell criticizes much about the English, he presents them as a model for war-torn Europe, defined by a humane political culture and peaceful outlook.
