The Adventure of Education

Contemporary Cultural Theory: An IntroductionThis and concise introduction to cultural theory aims to bring a sense of historical and theoretical scale to cultural studies in Britain.

Animal Farm: A Fairy Story (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), have
proved hugely significant in the post-war world, influencing many subsequent
literary dystopias, and also supplementing our use of language.
Terms like ‘Big Brother’, ‘doublethink’ and ‘unperson’ from Nineteen Eighty-
