Orwell Editions 2021: I
With many of the works of George Orwell coming out of the protection of copyright, we notice these UK publishers are offering books by George Orwell in 2021.
We notice them for information, but endorse none of them.

The Orwell Society website will be posting further articles on new editions of the works of George Orwell, and notices of translations, adaptations and collections of his non-fiction in languages other than English. We invite publishers to contact our Secretary, prior to sending copies of their books, at info@orwellsociety.com.
Have just ordered two books by Orwell from Oxford World Classics via the Scarthin Bookstore. These books are not even mentioned or to be found on the OUP website. I wondered if the Society could appraise the different versions?
Thanks for your observation. This is the first post of these notices and we will be adding more, including the Oxford World Classics editions. We are held back in appraising the new editions by publishers failing to send review copies to us. We have a new French collection of Orwell essays with a member for review at the moment – keep an eye out for it.
