Information: - '' The Lion and the Unicorn : Socialism and the English Genius '' is an essay by George Orwell expressing his opinions on the situation in wartime Britain . The title alludes to the heraldic supporters appearing in the full royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom . The essay was first published on 19 February 1941 as the first volume of a series edited by T. R. Fyvel and Orwell , in the Searchlight Books published by Secker & Warburg . It expressed his opinion that the outdated British class system was hampering the war effort , and that in order to defeat Hitler , Britain needed a Socialist revolution . Therefore , Orwell argued , being a Socialist and being a Patriot were no longer antithetical , but complementary . As a result , '' The Lion and the Unicorn '' became an emblem of the revolution which would create a new kind of Socialism , a democratic '' English Socialism '' in contrast to the oppressing Soviet model - and also a new form of Britishness , a Socialist one liberated from Empire and the decadent old ruling classes . Orwell specified that the revolutionary regime may keep on the royal family as a national symbol , though sweeping away the rest of the British aristocracy . The first part of the essay , '' England Your England '' , is often considered an essay in itself . With the introductory sentence '' As I write , highly civilized human beings are flying overhead , trying to kill me . '' , the content sheds some light on the process which eventually led Orwell to the writing of his famous dystopia , Nineteen Eighty - Four . - Searchlight Books was a series of essays published as hardback books, edited by T.
