Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Volume 3 from The Complete Works Of George Orwell, available separately for the first time.Although it is generally agreed that Orwell did not effectively reconcile the sections of this novel, the development of the narrative was greatly hindered by the effects of censorship. This arose from the publisher's understandable fears at the time that the book as submitted would lead to actions for libel, defamation and obscenity. In consequence, many pages were 'toned down' (again, Orwell's words), what was specific was made vague and unlocalised, and Dorothy's crucial loss of memory left unexplained. The discovery of details of cuts and changes required - most important of which is Mr. Warburton's attempt to rape Dorothy - make it possible to assess A Clergyman's Daughter afresh. Some passages can be restored precisely; whole areas of change can be identified though not restored As a result, Dorothy's 'little odyssey', her loss of faith and her subsequent resighned acceptance of her lot, can at last be read with a far clearer understanding of what Orwell intended. No one who reads A Clergyman's Daughter can ever regard the plight of those who exist, homeless and adrift, in a great city in the same way again, especially in the bitter cold of winter. Here Orwell is unforgettable - nowhere else does he write with quite such poignancy. In addition to restoring passages that can be reconstructed, Originally published in a censored form, this novel is now presented in a form closer to that first written, though not all passages can be restored. Dorothy's plight can be read with clearer understanding of what Orwell intended. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st edition in this form (that is, as part of the edition of Orwell's Complete Works published in 1997 and 1998).

In addition to restoring passages that can be reconstructed, this new edition locates all the sections modified for fear of legal action in the 1930s. The book is unread; both it and its dust jacket are in new condition with no blemishes, markings, bumps or creases.
