Reviews

“This clearly written and well-organized volume provides a great deal of useful information about the life and the writings of the important 20th-century English author, George Orwell...excellent information...a valuable acquistion”—ARBA; “David Ryan’s study, a twenty-five-year labor of love, seeks to present a comprehensive examination of film adaptations and documentaries on Orwell and succeeds brilliantly. His outsider status as a journalist instead of an academic proves a blessing in being able to appeal to a wider audience.... Ryan’s work very well may be the most important contribution to the field”—Journal of American Culture; “excellent series of Literary Companions”—Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine.
