Interactive English webinar: who ‘owns’ George Orwell?

Interactive English webinar: who ‘owns’ George Orwell?
For students

In this interactive conversation with the University of Birmingham, you’ll explore different attitudes to George Orwell, the writer behind classics like ‘Animal Farm’ and ‘1984’. Professor Nathan Waddell will explain how and why different groups across the political spectrum think that their Orwell is the ‘real’ Orwell. You’ll look at the views of libertarians who see him as a writer firmly opposed to state-sponsored socialism, to left-leaning progressives who see him as one of their champions.
