Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. George Orwell's essay examines the power of language to shape political ideas. It is about the importance of writing concisely, clearly and precisely and the dangers to our ability to think when language, especially political language, is obscured by vague, cliched phrases and hackneyed metaphor…s. In it, he argues that when political discourse trades clarity and precision for stock phrases, the debasement of politics follows.First published in Horizon in 1946, Orwell's essay was soon recognised as an important text, circulated by newspaper editors to their journalists and reprinted in magazines and anthologies of contemporary writing. It continues to be relevant to our own age.'To read a speech by a contemporary politician, an article in a broadsheet newspaper or a communication from a government department is to be plunged straightaway into a landscape where the euphemisms, wool-pulling and downright duplicity that Orwell complained about back in 1946 are all going strong.' - D.J. Taylor This essay examines the power of language to shape political ideas. In it, Orwell argues that when political discourse trades clarity and precision for stock phrases, the debasement of politics follows. First published in 'Horizon' in 1946, Orwells ideas continue to be relevant to our own age. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
