I've been trying to get this corrected for months now. For some reason, the product description didn't translate correctly from the c.s.p. website to Amazon. As a result, there are no apostrophes in the Amazon description. It is very annoying, and I want it corrected, but it is very difficult to get in touch with a real person at Amazon nowadays.

I actually cite a few of John Rodden's books and articles throughout. As a matter of fact, besides Orwell's own texts, Rodden's
Politics of Literary Reputation can probably be considered my main resource in writing
Our Orwell, Right or Left. My book is different from Rodden's in a few different ways, however; his is more a comprehensive collection of Orwell's various reception history, mine is essentially a long argument for a particular viewpoint. Plus, I explore (within the book's final third) what it is about our culture and our government that makes Orwell still relevant.
