Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media
As Brennan's detailed book shows, Orwell's thoughts on religious belief and institutions were complex and sometimes conflicting ... Orwell and Religion convincingly presents Orwell's anti-Catholicism as an exception to his capacity for temperate analysis and self-analysis. Brennan shows how Orwell's readers ought not to overlook the discordant elements in his work.
