Summary:"A Clergyman's Daughter is George Orwell's second and most unappreciated novel. Drawing on his experience as a hop-picker, teacher, and urban vagrant, it tells the peculiar story of Dorothy Hare, the daughter of the Rector of St Athelstan's in the fictional town of Knype Hill. Unacknowledged by her absent-minded father and gossiped about by his rheumatic parishioners, Dorothy is suddenly and traumatically catapulted into the unknown. She wakes up in London, her memory temporarily gone; travels to the Kent countryside; spends a night in Trafalgar Square; works for the authoritarian schoolteacher Mrs Creevy; and then journeys back to her old, limited life. A novel about loss and return, A Clergyman's Daughter charts the course of a young woman's voyage out and circular homecoming. In his introduction, Nathan Waddell charts the fantastical elements and socio-political dimensions of A Clergyman's Daughter, and examines how it drew inspiration from James Joyce's epic modernist novel Ulysses, a book Orwell deeply admired."
