Arguing that Orwell's fiction and non-fiction weigh the benefits and costs of adopting a doubled perspective, this title illustrates how decency follows this perspective. It shows how Orwell's characters' ability to treat others decently depends upon the characters' relative capacities for doubleness.
In its analysis of Animal Farm , Burmese Days , Keep the Aspidistra Flying and Nineteen Eighty-Four , this book argues that George Orwell''s fiction and non-fiction weigh the benefits and costs of adopting a doubled perspective - in other words, seeing one''s own interests in relation to those of others - and illustrate how decency follows from such a perspective. Establishing this relationship within Orwell''s work, Anthony Stewart demonstrates how Orwell''s characters'' ability to treat others decently depends upon the characters'' relative capacities for doubleness.
