Description | Typescript letter from George [Orwell] to Fred Warburg, sent from Jura, commenting on progress with the rough draft of the novel subsequently published as '<i>1984</i>', describing it as "a fantasy, but in the form of a naturalistic novel", and enclosing the "very bad" commercial typescript draft of the sketch of school life subsequently published as '<i>Such, such were the joys</i>' which he claims had been commissioned by Cyril Connolly for '<i>Horizon</i>' as a "pendant" for CC's '<i>Enemies of Promise</i>', (1f) |
