Novel that may have influenced "Brave New World," "1984" to be republished

A dystopian novel that’s been out of print for almost a century has found new life.

Rose Macaulay’s What Not will be republished in March 2019, with previously censored passages restored, according to the Guardian.

It also includes a foreword that argues that the work influenced both Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984, though no written evidence exists to confirm the claims.
