Abstract
“A Hanging,” written under George Orwell’s birth name of Eric Blair, is a literary feat and artistic landmark in the development of “Blair” into “Orwell” that has gone little-noticed by most Orwell readers. This essay discusses the contribution of “The Hanging” to that development in close detail, and it also addresses long-standing debates about its genre and biographical statues.
