Produktinformationen zu „George Orwell, Doubleness, and the Value of Decency (ePub)“
In its analysis of "Animal Farm," "Burmese Days," "Keep the Aspidistra Flying" and "Nineteen Eighty-Four," this book argues that George Orwell's fiction and non-fiction weigh the benefits and costs of adopting a doubled perspective - in other words, seeing one's own interests in relation to those of others - and illustrate how decency follows from such a perspective. Establishing this relationship within Orwell's work, Anthony Stewart demonstrates how Orwell's characters' ability to treat others decently depends upon the characters' relative capacities for doubleness.
