In time his nom de plume became so closely attached to him that few people but relatives knew his real name was Blair. The change in name corresponded to a profound shift in Orwell’s lifestyle, in which he changed from a pillar of the British imperial establishment into a literary and political rebel. shalang789 https://padlet.com/shalang789/3ve0hsugul2q/wish/133590416 2016-10-27 12:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/shalang789/3ve0hsugul2q/wish/133590416 NameGeorge Orwell OccupationAuthor, Journalist Birth DateJune 25, 1903 Death DateJanuary 21, 1950 EducationEton Place of BirthMotihari, India Place of DeathLondon, United Kingdom shalang789 https://padlet.com/shalang789/3ve0hsugul2q/wish/133590793 2016-10-27 12:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/shalang789/3ve0hsugul2q/wish/133590793  Animal Farm, Burmese Days, A Clergyman's Daughter, Coming Up for Air, Keep the Aspidistra Flying, Nineteen Eighty-Four shalang789 https://padlet.com/shalang789/3ve0hsugul2q/wish/133591370 2016-10-27 12:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/shalang789/3ve0hsugul2q/wish/133591370 Orwell drew on his teaching experiences for the novel Keep the Aspidistra Flying (1936). shalang789 https://padlet.com/shalang789/3ve0hsugul2q/wish/133592023 2016-10-27 12:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/shalang789/3ve0hsugul2q/wish/133592023 Back in Britain, Orwell supported himself by writing freelance reviews, mainly for the New English Weekly (until he broke with it over its pacifism in 1940) and then mostly for Time and Tide.
