3. 'A chronology of Nineteen Eighty-Four' (in progress): a reconstruction of the internal chronology, by year, month, and where possible by individual days, of the story of Orwell’s novel. It's easy to get lost in this ... drnjwaddell.co.uk/nef-chronology [3/3]

2. 'Networking Orwell' (in progress): a gathering of essays from the Complete Works which bear usefully on his main works of fiction & non-fiction. Where possible, I’ve given links to reliable, freely available online versions of the texts in question. drnjwaddell.co.uk/networking-o... [2/3]

You can find text versions of some podcast episodes and links to all of them through my website (here: drnjwaddell.co.uk/reading-orwell) and/or through the usual podcast platforms. #EduSky [3/3]

The podcast began life as a chapter-by-chapter investigation of Nineteen Eighty-Four, which I might finish at some point. For now the emphasis is going to be analyses of different aspects of Orwell's writing and discussions with other people researching his life and work. #EduSky [2/3]
