Biography
Alfred Richard Orage (1873–1934) shaped early twentieth-century journalism through his incisive editing of The New Age and his tireless advocacy for cultural and social renewal. He brought lively debate to the pages of the magazine, encouraging artists, thinkers, and labor activists to test new ideas and pursue social justice.
His restless enquiring spirit left its mark on the intellectual life of his time, promoting a wider conversation about economics, education, and the arts; his grave at St John-at-Hampstead is visited by those who continue to value his contributions.
