In its analysis of Animal Farm , Burmese Days , Keep the Aspidistra Flying and Nineteen Eighty-Four , this book argues that George Orwell's fiction and non-fiction weigh the benefits and costs of adopting a doubled perspective - in other words, seeing one's own interests in relation to those of others - and illustrate how decency follows from such a perspective. Establishing this relationship within Orwell's work, Anthony Stewart demonstrates how Orwell's characters' ability to treat others decently depends upon the characters' relative capacities for doubleness.
Anthony Stewart is Assistant Professor in the English Department at Dalhousie University. His recent publications include "George Orwell's Elastic Politics" in English Studies in Canada and "Penn and Teller Magic: Self, Racial Devaluation, and the Canadian Academy" in Racism, Eh?, an anthology on race and racism in Canada.
