Some of his most famous works include Animal Farm and 1984. Animal Farm was an allegorical novella about the Russian Revolution published in 1945 that reflected events in the Soviet Union under Stalin. It addressed how corruption can undermine a revolution and the transition to a people's government. Orwell struggled to find publishers for the work initially due to its criticism of Stalin, but it became a commercial success after World War II during the Cold War.

George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty - Four as a Dystopian novelNisha Paliwal
This PowerPoint presentation focuses on the novel Nineteen Eighty Four as a Dystopian novel by analysing the themes and the elements that shape it as one.
The Industrial Revolution ushered in a period of rapid societal transformation in the nineteenth century. The literary heavyweights of the time captured the turbulent century from a variety of perspectives. These writers provided a broad and interesting portrayal of a world in change through poetry, novels, short stories, and other genres.
One of these writers was Charles Dickens, the most well-known Victorian author. Dickens acquired work habits that enabled him to create long and engaging works, despite his rough upbringing. Most of Dickens's novels were published in serial form over weeks or months in newspapers.
Dickens used his writings to analyze and criticize the social structure of England at the time. He chronicled Victorian England's socioeconomic realities in famous novels such as Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations. His writings frequently discussed class differences, poverty, and ambition that existed during the Industrial Revolution in London.
Edgar Allan Poe is another notable writer of the 19th century. Despite not living a very long life, his work positioned him as one of the most significant writers in history. Poe was the father of the short story form, a poet, and a critic.
His gloomy literary style was characterized by a fascination with the macabre and the mysterious. He influenced the development of genres, including horror and detective fiction. Poe's tumultuous background has hinted as to how he came up with the dark stories and poems for which he is most known today.
