The collection is divided into four sections, corresponding with the four conference sessions: "What Orwell Really Wrote"; "Orwell: The Man"; "'Nineteen Eighty-Four': The Book"; and "'Nineteen Eighty-Four': Its Meaning in 1984." Summaries of the subsequent floor discussions are included at the end of each section. The papers presented and their authors are as follows: (1) "What Orwell Really Wrote" (Peter Davison); (2) "Orwell the Man" (Jenni Calder); (3) "The Englishness of George Orwell" (Peter Stansky); (4) "'Nineteen Eighty-Four': Politics and Fable" (Denis Donoghue); (5) "'Not One of Us': George Orwell and 'Nineteen Eighty-Four'" (Alfred Kazin); (6) "'Nineteen Eighty-Four': A Novel of the 1930s" (Jeffrey Meyers); (7) "The Reception of 'Nineteen Eighty-Four'" (Bernard Crick); and (8) "Orwell's Legacy" (Nathan A.
