People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. George Orwell

Acknowledgments
At various times in my research for this book I have been aided by the staffs of the Lilly Library at Indiana University; the Berg Collection at the New York Public Library; and, above all, the George Orwell Archive, at the library of University College London, and I would like to thank them all for their help. In addition, I found the readers' reports on an earlier draft of this book helpful and stimulating and want to express my gratitude to those readers who took considerable time and trouble to set down lengthy comments and lively objections.
Finally, a number of friends-and-relations read parts or all of the manuscript at one or another stage in its composition and gave valuable criticism and support. To all of them go my deepest thanks and the promise that next time we meet I will not talk about Orwell.
Parts of chapter 8 originally appeared, in slightly different form, in PMLA, October 1982 and March 1983, and Women's Studies International Forum 7, no. 2 (1984).
