When, after being invited to dinner by Mr Warburton, a local atheist and libertine, she is glimpsed in his arms by the village gossip, Mrs Semprill, Dorothy suffers a breakdown and, struck by amnesia, embarks on journey that will see her join a group of vagrants, pick hops in the fields of Kent, stay in a hotel for “working girls” and sleep rough on the streets of London.Perhaps the most experimental among his writings, A Clergyman’s Daughter, first published in 1935, is Orwell’s second work of fiction – and one that, in its depiction of a protagonist who rebels against and is ultimately vanquished by the society that oppresses her, is a clear prefiguration of later novels such as Keep the Aspidistra Flying and Nineteen Eighty-Four.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmAuthor: George OrwellGenre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionSubtitle: Annotated EditionRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
