George Orwell's (1903-50) essay 'Charles Dickens' from 1940 concentrates on the ideology in Dickens. More precisely, Orwell finds that political radicalism or awareness is turned into a question of morality or of behaving decently.A brilliant essayist with a magnificent command of the English language, Orwell in this first collection dealt with Charles Dickens, the English “boys' weeklies”, and Henry Miller. He used his subjects to dwell on a wide variety of issues including “cultural unity”, propaganda, and literary trends.
