Title: George Orwell and Religion
Description: "Drawing on the full range of Orwell's public and private writing, Michael Brennan reassesses Orwell's lifelong engagement with religion in his life and work."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

"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."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
