"As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me": George Orwell's England Your England and Other Essays
Early printing of this anthology of Orwell's essays including England Your England, written during the German Nazi Blitz of 1941. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a chipped and worn dust jacket.
Orwell penned England Your England in the midst of The Blitz, in an attempt to define English culture and the English people for the rest of the world as he feared it might soon be wiped out completely by the Nazi armies. In the essay, he describes England as one of the most democratic nations on the earth at the time, but lacking a true and correct worldview which had been replaced with a level of fervent patriotism. England Your England and Other Essays also includes Why I Write, North and South, Marrakech, Anti-Semitism in Britain, and Notes on Nationalism.
