" He is laughing,with a touch of anger in his laughter,
but no triumph,no malignity.It is the face of a man who is
always fighting against something,but who fights in the open
and is not frightened,the face of a man who is generously angry --
in other words,of a nineteenth-century liberal,a free intelligence,
a type hated with equal hatred by all the smelly little orthodoxies
which are now contending for our souls. "

earlier in the day,righto ?Maybe. I did notice your odd use of 'ne' rather than 'née'. But I think I would have gotten it anyway. '19th Century liberal' is a good clue; Dickens is the obvious guess there. It also means the writer is post-19th century, and who struggled more than Orwell against 'smelly little orthodoxies'?
