The Prevention of Literature
"The Prevention of Literature" is an essay published in 1946 by the English author George Orwell. The essay is concerned with freedom of thought and expression, particularly in an environment where the prevailing orthodoxy in left-wing intellectual circles is in favour of the communism of the Soviet Union.
==Background==
Orwell reviewed ''Freedom of Expression'', published by PEN, which had appeared in the 12 October 1945 issue of ''Tribune''.〔Orwell, Sonia and Angus, Ian (eds.). ''The Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George Orwell Volume 4: In Front of Your Nose (1945–1950)'' (Penguin)〕
In his essay Orwell recalls attending a PEN meeting a year previously on the tercentenary of John Milton's ''Areopagitica'' which included the phrase "killing a book".
The essay first appeared in ''Polemic'' No 2 in January 1946.
