George Orwell

20th century (Interwar & WWII period)

George Orwell (1903-1950) was an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic, whose work is defined by lucid prose, social criticism, opposition to totalitarianism, and support of democratic socialism. His experiences in the Spanish Civil War and his observations of imperialism and class structures profoundly shaped his political thought. He is best known for the allegorical novella 'Animal Farm' (1945) and the dystopian novel 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' (1949).
