A fascinating exploration of George Orwellâand his body of workâby an award-winning Orwellian biographer and scholar, presenting the author anew to twenty-first-century readers.\
We find ourselves in an era when the moment is ripe for a reevaluation of the life and the works of one of the twentieth centuryâs greatest authors. This is the first twenty-first-century biography on George Orwell, with special recognition to D. J. Taylor's stature as an award-winning biographer and Orwellian.\
Using new sources that are now available for the first time, we are tantalizingly at the end of the lifespan of Orwell's last few contemporaries, whose final reflections are caught in this book. The way we look at a writer and his canon has changed even over the course of the last two decades; there is a post-millennial prism through which we must now look for such a biography to be fresh and relevant. This is what Orwell: The New Life achieves.
