Autor

Stephen Ingle is an Emeritus Professor of Politics at the University of Stirling where he has held a post since 1991. He had previously spent over twenty years in the Politics Department at the University of Hull, for the last four of which he was Head of Department. He came to Stirling to re-establish a largely defunct Politics Department and headed the new department for eleven years. He has pursued research in two principal areas, politics and literature and British political parties, and has written extensively on both. He is especially interested in that area where politics and imaginative literature overlap and has had a special interest in George Orwell's political thought for most of his working life. His works include: Socialist Thought in Imaginative Literature (1979), Parliament and Health Politics (1981), The British Party System (first edition 1985; fourth edition 2008), George Orwell: A Political Life (1993 ), Narratives of British Socialism (2002) and The Social and Political Thought of George Orwell (2006). Though he has done some teaching at the University of Edinburgh, since formally retiring Stephen Ingle has managed to devote much of his time to three major pastimes: reading, walking and travelling.
