===Later editions===
Following the success of Orwell's later books, ''[[Animal Farm]]'' and ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]'', it was posthumously recognised as a "lost classic" of the now-famous author.{{Sfn|Buchanan|2002|pp=302, 308}} The book received a second wave of sales after the first American edition was published by [[Harcourt (publisher)|Harcourt Brace]], in 1952, with an introduction from literary critic [[Lionel Trilling]].{{Sfn|Buchanan|2002|pp=308-309}} In Britain, Secker & Warburg published a new edition of the book in 1951; publication was taken over by [[Penguin Books]] in 1962 and it has never fallen out of print since then.{{Sfn|Buchanan|2002|p=302}} The book received a third wave of sales during the late 1960s, buoyed by interest from the period's [[counterculture of the 1960s|counterculture]] and the [[New Left]].{{Sfn|Buchanan|2002|p=311}} Historian [[Paul Preston]] speculated in 2017 that ''Homage'' had become the highest selling and most read book about the civil war.{{Sfn|Preston|2017|p=1}}

These later editions incorporated revisions requested by Orwell himself, in order to correct some mistakes he had made in the first edition and to rearrange the chapter sequence so the "general information" about political context was moved to an appendices.{{Sfn|Buchanan|2002|pp=309-310}} In 1986, [[Peter Davison (professor)|Peter Davison]] published an edition with a few footnotes based on Orwell's own footnotes found among his papers after he died.<ref name=":5" />{{sfn|Preston|2017|p=12}}
