AB This article offers a survey of Orwell’s political development from the time of his endorsement of the Independent Labour Party in the wake of his participation in the Spanish Civil War to his final consecration - in the late 1940s - as the pre-eminent polemicist against and fictional interpreter of, the totalitarian phenomenon. The first area of analysis is the version of political quietism espoused by Orwell in the period 1939-40 as a crucial stage in the ethical reconfiguration of a true revolutionary politics untarnished by Stalinism. The article then examines the construction of an “abysmal” vision of human devastation in his late dystopias and attempts to re-inscribe it within a general strategy of ethico-political reorganization.
