 Victor Gollancz
Victor Gollancz, the son of Alexander Gollancz, a prosperous wholesale jeweller, was born in London in 1893.
Gollancz became a strong supporter of William Wedgwood Benn, the Liberal MP for Leith.
Victor Gollancz gave hard and clear statements of the British views and demands concerning Germany, but then argued that in the final resort the problem of Germany fell under a humanitarian principle of the British conscience for the world.

 George Orwell: An exhibition from the Daniel J. Leab Collection, Brown University Library
Gollancz, who decided to publish Blair's effort, wanted the book to be called "Confessions of a Down and Out in Paris and London," and words and passages cut to avoid possible libel actions and to ensure sales to libraries.
Gollancz, fresh from defending libel actions arising from his publication of a novel dealing with teaching experiences in Kensington, made Orwell tone down many of the references in the original manuscript (e.g., mentions of Barclay's Bank and the Lambeth public library).
Gollancz at the beginning of 1936 had organized the Left Book Club, similar in operation to the Book-of-the-Month Club in the U.S. The response was good, and by the end of 1936 there were almost 40,000 members.

Victor Gollancz was Orwell's first publisher and the founder of the Left Book Club through which he commissioned Orwell to write The Road to Wigan Pier, the conclusions of which he did not agree with.
Gollancz published Orwell's early novels, but published nothing of his after Wigan.
Gollancz himself died in 1967, and I don't know who if anyone carried on the publishing company after him.

 Francis Stuart Papers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
Although the collection covers the years during which almost all of Stuart's novels and plays were published, the papers document well only the author's work from 1940-1975, including two published novels, Victors and Vanquished (1959) and Black List, Section H (1975).
Two of Stuart's published novels, Black List, Section H and Victors and Vanquished, and two plays, Flynn's Last Dive and Strange Guest are also here.
Researchers interested in the development of an individual work will find Stuart's novel Victors and Vanquished to be the most extensively documented work in this and the workbooks series, which contains, in chronological order, notes on some of Stuart's published and unpublished novels, most of which are already included in the manuscript series.

 NTI: Country Overviews: Iraq : Chemical Chronology
Dutch authorities obtain evidence that between November 1984 and January 1985 the Dutch company Melchemie BV had legally exported over 1200 tons of chloroethyl, dimethylamine, thiodiglycol, and 20,000 kg of phosphorous trichloride, all of which are used for the manufacture of chemical weapons.
The Dutch firm Melchemie is convicted by the Dutch government of export violations for attempting to export to Iraq phosphorous oxychloride, a precursor of the nerve agent Tabun.
The administration of the Muthanna State Establishment is transferred from the Chemical Corps, which ran it since 1978, to the Special Office for Technical Industry (SOTI), the technical arm of the Special Security Organization (SSO), under Hussayn Kamil.

 Portfolio at NYU
In 1936, the Left Book Club, a socialist group reacting against the growth of fascism in the 1930s, commissioned George Orwell to study the problem of unemployment in the north of England.
When Orwell returned with The Road to Wigan Pier in 1937, the Club considered his clear-sighted indictment of armchair socialists (in the second half of the book) so controversial that publisher Victor Gollancz prefaced the text with a rather tormented apologia to Club readers.
The New York Times review by Charles Poore neatly deconstructs Gollancz's "censorious" preface and reveals that the two politically-charged decades between 1937 and 1958 were enough to "enhance the volume's historic value."

Walking along Henrietta Street recently, by London's Covent Garden, looking for a restaurant, I found myself thinking of George Orwell.
Victor Gollancz Ltd., publisher of Orwell's early work, had its offices there in 1984, when the company published my first novel, a novel of an imagined future.
At the time, I felt I had lived most of my life under the looming shadow of that mythic year—Orwell having found his title by inverting the final digits of the year of his book's completion.
