O knihe
Twenty-eight-year-old Dorothy Hare leads a life of drudgery and self-abnegation in the
house of her father, the rector of Knype Hill, helping him stave off his creditors and
making costumes for fund-raising events. When, after being invited to dinner by Mr
Warburton, a local atheist and libertine, she is glimpsed in his arms by the village gossip,
Mrs Semprill, Dorothy suffers a psychotic episode and, struck by amnesia, embarks on
journey that will see her join a group of vagrants, pick hops in the fields of Kent, stay in
a hotel for "working girls? and sleep rough on the streets of London.
Perhaps the most experimental among his writings, A Clergyman's Daughter, first
published in 1935, is Orwell's second work of fiction - and one which, in its depiction
of a protagonist who rebels against and is ultimately vanquished by the society that
oppresses her, is a clear prefiguration of later novels such as Keep the Aspidistra Flying
and Nineteen Eighty-Four.
