The Underlying Theme of Poverty in George Orwell’s “Down and Out in Paris and London”
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page discussion of Orwell’s semi-autobiographical book. In it, Orwell had moved from his upper middle class lifestyle into Paris slums to work as a dishwasher and live in rat-infested hotels.

The experiences which he relates shed considerable light on the physical and mental experiences of being poor, so much light in fact that the book was originally rejected by publisher T.S. Eliot presumably because of the grim and hopeless picture which was presented. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
