7277578The Oxford Handbook of George Orwellhttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-oxford-handbook-of-george-orwell-9780192604811/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6829692/image.jpg?v=63874205533053000036584064MXNOUP OxfordInStock/Ebooks/<p>The Oxford Handbook of George Orwell offers a wide-ranging reconsideration of Orwells life and work, focusing on the extensive connections between his novels, essays, diaries, columns, letters, and reviews. Accessible to general readers and to established scholars alike, forty-eight chapters written by an international team of Orwell specialists address familiar topics-such as Orwells journalism, broadcasting, literary criticism, and politics-as well as less well-trodden areas of his output, such as his accounts of stupidity, kindness, and justice, and his connections with contemporaries like Jack Common, Katharine Burdekin, Wyndham Lewis, and Victor Serge. Sections on Orwells professional activities, his main literary influences, his politics, his intellectual fixations, his literary contemporaries, and his legacies structure the book, which moves thematically and topically through the full scope of his output. The first section looks at how Orwell spent his time as a writer, reader, and broadcaster. Chapters on writers from Shakespeare to the modernists investigate the determinants of Orwells literary practice. The book then turns to a set of political contexts in which Orwells writing can be understood. The Fixations section covers the familiar, such as Orwells account of Englishness, and the unfamiliar, such as his account of the absurd. The fifth section relates Orwell to several politically minded contemporaries, tracing connections and differences between their writing. The final section of the Handbook reflects on how Orwell sounds through several literary and socio-political legacies, and includes innovative considerations of feminism, Afrofuturism, and queer speculative fiction.</p>...6915604The Oxford Handbook of George Orwell36584064https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-oxford-handbook-of-george-orwell-9780192604811/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6829692/image.jpg?v=638742055330530000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259780192604811_W3siaWQiOiI2MDc1YTM2Mi0zM2YwLTQ3NzktOGVlNS1hZjY5NzZmOWY2YjMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQwNjQsImRpc2NvdW50Ijo0MDYsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MzY1OCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780192604811_<p>The Oxford Handbook of George Orwell offers a wide-ranging reconsideration of Orwells life and work, focusing on the extensive connections between his novels, essays, diaries, columns, letters, and reviews.
