Twenty-eight-year-old Dorothy Hare leads a life of drudgery and self-abnegation in the house of her father the rector of Knype Hill helping him stave off his creditors and making costumes for fund-raising events. When after being invited to dinner by Mr Warburton a local atheist and libertine she is glimpsed in his arms by the village gossip Mrs Semprill Dorothy suffers a breakdown and struck by amnesia embarks on journey that will see her join a group of vagrants pick hops in the fields of Kent stay in a hotel for working girls and sleep rough on the streets of London. Perhaps the most experimental among his writings A Clergyman's Daughter first published in 1935 is Orwell's second work of fiction - and one that in its depiction of a protagonist who rebels against and is ultimately vanquished by the society that oppresses her is a clear prefiguration of later novels such as Keep the Aspidistra Flying and Nineteen Eighty-Four.
