Descrição: Books about the great English writer flow from the presses, the latest portraying him as a bad husband. Martin Luther King Jr was not a feminist, and while Virginia Woolf was, she doesn't score particularly well on, among other things, class and snobbery, which is why there's a book about her fraught relationship with her servants. [...]there's George Orwell, about whom three new books are appearing soon: two that revisit his best-known fictions, and another one more or less about his first marriage. There are three reasons to rewrite a book, and Adam Biles's forthcoming Beasts of England (Galley Beggar Press, 7 September) demonstrates the third: to use existing equipment to describe a new situation.
