UOG TAKEOVER: READING THE WORLD IN 75 YEARS

George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and Cheltenham Literature Festival both appeared in 1949 to challenge and inspire audiences. To tie in with the Festival’s anniversary, we reflect on how the last 75 years of reading has reshaped the world. From emerging genres and new voices to the echoes of lost worlds and broader perspectives discovered through reading in translation, we explore the transformative effects of writing.
