"The Sutherland House brings back to print the definitive biography of Orwell, George Orwell: A Life, by political scholar Sir Bernard Crick. Originally published in 1980, Crick's Orwell was the first biography of its subject written with the cooperation of his widow. It was immediately lauded for its wealth of detail and shrewd analysis of Orwell's life, literature, and politics. "Not only was it a pioneering biography," said the editor of The Cambridge Companion to George Orwell, "but it remains the best one there is." Professor Crick's highly readable and clear-eyed assessment of Orwell's thought and personal development is as necessary to an understanding to the author and his work as that author and his work are to an understanding of contemporary life. This edition includes a new foreword by Alex Woloch, author of Or Orwell: Writing and Democratic Socialism."--
