Collection: University of Delaware Special Collections Online Exhibitions and Finding Aids
Description: George Orwell was the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair (1903–1950), a British journalist and novelist known for his literary criticism, personal narratives, and works of fiction. Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty–Four became one of the twentieth century’s most influential works of dystopian science fiction. First published on June 9, 1949, Nineteen Eighty–Four explored themes of war, nationalism, censorship, and state–sponsored surveillance, as seen through the eyes of a citizen in the totalitarian state of Oceania. Since its publication, the novel has been translated into dozens of languages and adapted into several film, radio, and television productions. Terms such as “Big Brother”, “Newspeak”, and “thoughtcrime” have become synonymous with authoritarian ideals and political manipulation. This single case exhibition was on display in the Information Room of Morris Library from June 5-July 2, 2012.

Description: From its very earliest days, the University of Delaware Library has benefitted from the generosity of both monetary gifts and donations of materials, including rare books and manuscripts. Many of Special Collections’ most unique items have been gifts, and without the munificence of donors, these items could not have been otherwise acquired. The exhibition features items which were donated in the past decade. The materials on display are organized to complement Special Collections’ core collecting areas of literature, the arts, history and Delawareana, and the history of science. This exhibition was originally on display in the Special Collections main gallery on the second floor of Morris Library from August 23-December 16, 2011.
