The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
Right, one English author is the definition here, pointing at George Orwell. For the wordplay, take or straight from the clue, then "another" English author gives you WELLS (as in H.G. Wells) which gets "abridged" by chopping off the last letter to leave WELL - stick OR in front of WELL and you're there.
