George Orwell bibliography George Orwell bibliography The bibliography of George Orwell includes journalism, essays, novels and non-fiction books written by the British writer Eric Blair (1903–50), either under his own name or, more usually, under his pen name George Orwell. Orwell was a prolific writer on topics related to contemporary English society and literary criticism, whom the British newsweekly "The Economist" in 2008 declared "perhaps the 20th century's best chronicler of English culture." His non-fiction cultural and political criticism constitutes the majority of his work, but Orwell also wrote in several genres of fictional literature. Orwell is best remembered for his political commentary

For years, these went uncollected until the anthologies "Orwell: The War Broadcasts" (Marboro Books, June 1985 and in the United States, as "Orwell: The Lost Writings" by Arbor House, September 1985) and "Orwell: The War Commentaries" (Gerald Duckworth & Company Ltd., London, 1 January 1985) were edited by W. J. West. Orwell was responsible for producing "The Indian Section" of BBC Eastern Service and his program notes from 1 February and 7 December
