The material is divided into five sections: correspondence between Orwell and Rene-Noel Raimbault (the French translator of [b:Down and Out in Paris and London|902264|Down and Out in Paris and London (The Complete Works of George Orwell, Vol. 1)|George Orwell|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1179312292s/902264.jpg|2374970]), letters between Orwell’s first wife Eileen and her friend Norah Myles, new information about Orwell’s friend George Kopp, summaries of Orwell’s letters to Brenda Salkend (which are still unreleased but were utilized by Gordon Bowker in his recent biography of the author), a collection of other letters from other sources, and additional articles and supplementary material, including the notorious list of suspected Communists and fellow-travelers that Orwell prepared before his death. Notes are provided for all of these, as are corrections to errata contained in the earlier 20-volume set.
Though individually relatively insignificant, combined the new material is a treasure trove of detail about the life and personality of this fascinating author. Containing items such as the C. D.
