George Orwell bibliography
Two essay collections were published during Orwell's lifetime—"Inside the Whale and Other Essays" in 1940 and "Critical Essays" in 1946 (the latter published in the United States as "Dickens, Dali, and Others" in 1958.) His publisher followed up these anthologies with "Shooting an Elephant and Other Essays" in 1950, "England Your England and Other Essays" in 1953—which was revised as "Such, Such Were the Joys"—and "Collected Essays" in 1961. The first significant publications in the United States were Doubleday's "A Collection of Essays by George Orwell" from 1954, 1956's "The Orwell Reader, Fiction, Essays, and Reportage" from Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, and Penguin's "Selected Essays" in 1957; re-released in 1962 with the title "Inside the Whale and Other Essays" and in abridged form as "Why I Write" in 2005 as a part of the Great Ideas series. In the aforementioned series, Penguin also published the short collections "Books v. Cigarettes" (2008), "Some Thoughts on the Common Toad" (2010), and "Decline of the English Murder" (2009). The later does not contain the same texts as "Decline of the English Murder and Other Essays", published by Penguin in association with Secker & Warburg in 1965. The complete texts Orwell wrote for the "Observer" are collected in "Orwell: The Observer Years" published by Atlantic Books in 2003.
In 1976 Martin Secker & Warburg Ltd in association with Octopus Books published "The Complete Novels", this edition was latter republished by Penguin Books in 1983, and reprinted in Penguin Classics 2000 and 2009. Since the publication of Davison's corrected critical edition, John Carey's thorough "Essays" was released on 15 October 2002, as a part of the Everyman's Library and George Packer edited two collections for Houghton Mifflin, released on 13 October 2008—"All Art Is Propaganda: Critical Essays" and "Facing Unpleasant Facts: Narrative Essays".
