| Description | Typescript extracts from the 'Daily Worker 'and the 'News Chronicle' (some taken from the notes in ORWELL/C/1), documenting the "May Riots" of 1937 (during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939)
Contains quotes transcribed from newspapers with a particular focus on political groups, eg. Anarchists, Communists, Socialists, Trotskyists. It appears Orwell is focussing on documenting the language used by the newspapers to illustrate the groups, and events of the period.
Groups mentioned include the "P.O.U.M", (Partido Obero de Unification), the "Anarchist C.N.T" (Confederacin Nacional del Trabajo), the "F.I.A" (Iberian Anarchist Federation). |
