Cover of Professor Michael G. Brennan: George Orwell and Religion (PDF)

In his attitude toward religion, George Orwell has been characterised in various terms: as an agnostic, humanist, secular saint or even Christian atheist. Drawing on the full range of his public and private writings – from major works such as
Keep the Aspidistra Flying,
1984 and
Down and Out in Paris and London to his shorter journalism and private letters and journals –
George Orwell and Religion is a major reassessment of Orwell”s life-long engagement with religion. Exploring Orwell”s life and work, Michael Brennan illuminates for the first time how this profound engagement with religion informed the intensely humanitarian spirit of his writings.
