The Strange Case of Tory Anarchism

Angebote / Angebote:

An examination of British culture, this remarkable account delves into George Orwell's idea of a Tory Anarchist--someone who is concurrently a radical and a traditionalist. Filled with humorous extracts and quotes, this record explores--from Jonathan Swift to contemporary personalities--the definition of Orwell's term, which is filled with contradictions: Tory anarchists celebrate Britain's class system but condemn all classes for their role in Britain's decline, they believe in the idiosyncratic qualities of the British while mocking their hypocrisy, stupidity, philistinism, and vulgarity. Well researched and extremely amusing, this meditation touches upon a variety of topics, including politics, literature, and social history.
