Mark (mark_r) | 2 comments The quote here by Orwell is incorrectly attributed to "Shooting an Elephant".
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8366...

This quote comes from "Politics Vs. Literature: An Examination Of Gulliver’s Travels"
This can be confirmed on the Orwell Foundation page where this essay is made public.

Hi Mark

Thanks for including a source. I didn't have time to read right through it, but I was able to confirm attribution from another source & have changed the attribution.
