My Country Right or Left
"My Country Right or Left" is an essay published in 1940 by the English author George Orwell. In it Orwell seeks to reconcile his intense feeling of patriotism and his left-wing views.
==Background==
The essay was written after the outbreak of the Second World War at a time when many of Orwell's circle had to reconsider their pacifist views.
Orwell was eleven when the First World War broke out. Some of his recollections quoted in the essay he used in the novel ''Coming Up for Air'' published in 1939. Orwell had a traditional English upper-middle-class upbringing and had been a member of an Officer Training Corps at prep school and Eton. In 1937, he spent six months on a quiet part of the front at Huesca during the Spanish Civil War. Orwell had been trying to find war work, but had been unsuccessful, mainly because of his poor health. He subsequently joined the Home Guard, perceiving it as the basis for a people's militia.〔D. J. Taylor ''Orwell:The Life'' Chatto & Windus 2003〕
The essay was first published in ''Folios of New Writing'' in 1940.
