Of course, 'deeply English' is the accolade that one group of Orwell's admirers are keenest to bestow on Saint George, and Hitchens, though properly suspicious of Tory evocations of deep England, does not dissent from this description or its positive force.

Gordon Bowker's and D.J. Taylor's Lives appear in the centenary of their protagonist's birth, and are shrewd, readable, well-researched studies.
