George Orwell is a writer who has been a subject of
debate because he fashioned himself as a public
intellectual, but one who, somewhat paradoxically,
constantly attacked the intellectuals of his own
time. The book analyzes the intellectual persona
Orwell constructs and assesses where he fails and
where he succeeds in his attempt.
Through tracing the various literature written about
the modern intellectual and his role in his society,
as well as glance at intellectuals in previous
historical periods, the book attempts to provide a
working definition of the role of the public
intellectual in modern times. It also focuses on how
Orwell consciously created his public role in
response to the disengaged intellectuals of his
time. The book examines the various representations
of intellectuals in Orwell's works and the ways in
which they relate to Orwell's preoccupation with
both the role and the fate of the intellectual in
his time and in the future, as well as reflecting
Orwell's own anxieties toward his own mission as a
writer and public intellectual.
