“What I have most wanted to do… is to make political writing into an art.” - George Orwell
Orwell News is The Orwell Foundation’s monthly newsletter and online magazine. As well as the latest updates from all our prizes and programmes, we share the best new writing on Orwell’s writing and legacy. In short, it’s all things Orwell.
The Orwell Foundation uses the work of the author, journalist and essayist George Orwell (1903-1950) to shine a light on brave writing, uncovering hidden lives and uncomfortable truths. Based at University College London (the home of the UNESCO-registered Orwell Archive) our programmes include the prestigious Orwell Prizes, an innovative school outreach programme and a busy schedule of live events.
