The Other Side of "Political Writer":A Study of Literary Relations between George Orwell and the Modernist Writers
The label"political writer"obscured Orwell's role as a supporter of modernist literature.Orwell frequently paid attention to,comments on,and drew inspiration from modernist writers.He ad-mired Joyce for portraying the truth of life,admired Lawrence for his profound insight into human na-ture,and appreciated the sincere despair in Eliot's early works.Throughout this process,he had devel-oped significant literary connections and intersections with these writers.In the radical era of political in-vasion into literature,Orwell defended modernist writers with a clear stance and safeguarded their aes-thetic dignity,which was also an expression of his aesthetic stance on the independence of literature and art.
