George Orwell and Education uses Orwell¿s life and works to address current educational questions. His early life, political awakening and artistic development are key elements in the book¿s presentation of Orwell himself as a learner, and as someone whose ideas continue to speak to contemporary debates about human interdependency.

This book offers a pivotal re-evaluation of English teaching one century on from the Newbolt Report of 1921, responding to this seminal work and exploring its impact on issues and contemporary aims of English teaching today.
