Reviews

'Disclosing the integral aesthetic components of the distinctive style that Orwell developed in his early realistic novels of the 1930s, Loraine Saunders hits just the right note in her literary analysis of Burmese Days, A Clergyman's Daughter, Keep the Aspidistra Flying and Coming Up for Air. In reminding us of the power, vitality, and optimism of these neglected writings in Orwell's oeuvre, Saunders provides an invaluable service: her study serves as a much-needed corrective to the established critical tendency to undervalue Orwell's novelistic artistry and instead helps us to appreciate his full achievement and artistic legacy'. John Rodden, author of The Politics of Literary Reputation: The Making and Claiming of St. George Orwell, Scenes from an Afterlife: The Legacy of George Orwell, and Every Intellectual’s Big Brother: George Orwell’s Literary Siblings, among other books
