This sort of inspires me to begin more blogging! From the New York Times, August 24, 2008 -- A group of scholars are trying to make George Orwell more relevant to the younger generation by creating a blog of his extensive diaries. For example on September 7, 2008, Orwell's entry for September 7, 1938, will be posted from his political diary when Orwell was "consumed by the clouds gathering" for the second World War. Jean Seton, a professor at the University of Westminster in London, had the idea for the blog and administers the project. Seton says the site will be publishing at least until 2010 and has received many visitors. The original material can be found in University College London where many of our ATG friends are located -- Anthony Watkinson, David Nicholas, Liz Chapman, and I could go on and on -- but putting the material on the Web will make it more visible and accessible. This has also been covered on BBC and NPR! See -- "What George Orwell Wrote, 70 years Later to the Day," by Noam Cohen
