  Alfred Richard Orage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orage attempted to form a league for the restoration of a guild system, much as described by William Morris.
Orage's declared himself to be a socialist, and followed Georges Sorel in arguing that trade unions should pursue an increasingly aggressive policy as regards issues such as wage deals and working conditions.
Orage was militantly anti-suffragette, but allowed both pro- and anti-suffragette articles to be published in The New Age, in keeping with his policy of making the journal a forum for political debate rather than a forum for his opinions.

Orage focused his attention in the 1910s on spirituality, and became increasingly misogynistic, vehemently opposing the suffragette movement, and anti-parliamentary.
Orage died in 1934, declaring shortly beforehand that he had obtained no insight as to the "meaning and aim of existence".

 The Fourth Way Archive
Alfred Richard Orage was born in 1873 in North Yorkshire in the village of Dacre, near Harrogate.
Here Orage went to the village school, and would have gone to work at the age of twelve had not the local squire, impressed with his intelligence and charm, made it possible for him to continue his studies, and eventually to go to a teachers' training college.
Orage, with Rowland Kenny, organized a study group for Ouspensky which first met at the studio of Lady Rothermere in Circus Road, N.W. After some months of work Gurdjieff himself visited the group in London early in February 1922 [2] and again for a three week visit in March of that year [3].

An introduction to Orage by Walter Driscoll; concludes with a brief bibliography.
Orage was editor of the enormously influential journal the New Age from 1907 until 1922.

 Orage, Alfred Richard Criticism and Essays
Orage was born on January 22, 1873, in Yorkshire, England.
Orage sought to convince his fellow Fabians to pay greater attention to aesthetic concerns and, with help from friends, purchased The New Age periodical, turning it into a leading journal of eclectic literary style and economic beliefs.
Orage also published specifically socialist journalism, particularly expositions of the theory of social credit, which demanded government programs to increase workers' purchasing power so that they might be less dependent on their own labor.

 A. R. Orage: Introduction & Bibliography
In February 1922, Orage met the source of Ouspensky's gold, in the person and teachings of G. Gurdjieff who, with a band of followers, had fled the Russian Revolution in 1917 and was considering London as a place to immigrate to.
Orage was editor of thirty volumes of the enormously influential journal the New Age between 1907 until 1922.
Gurdjieff points out that Orage's appointment as leader of his study groups in the United States between 1924 and 1930 was necessitated by the devastating automobile accident he suffered and provides a vivid account of how he challenged Orage's performance, motives and preoccupation with self-observation.

 The Gurdjieff Journal Articles
Now the publication of Gurdjieff and Orage: Brothers in Elysium by Paul Beekman Taylor, a friend of the Orage family and the first to be given access to Orage's and Gurdjieff's letters and the diaries of Orage's wife Jessie, provides important new perspectives.
Orage, after years of study of Theosophy, and now hungry for a practical means of self-transformation, immediately accepted Ouspensky as his teacher.
That Orage, like Ouspensky, Bennett and Nicoll, or any other of Gurdjieff's students, ever saw themselves as equal in being and knowledge, that is, in understanding, to Gurdjieff is not supported by anything any of the men wrote or said.

 Leeds Arts Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Leeds Arts Club was founded in 1903 by the Leeds school teacher Alfred Orage and Yorkshire textile manufacture Holbrook Jackson, and was probably one of the most advanced centres for modernist (modernism) thinking in Britain in the pre-First World War period.
In 1907 Orage and Jackson left Leeds and moved to London to edit the hugely influential cultural and political journal The New Age.
Following their departure the Arts Club came under the sway of Frank Rutter, the founder of the Allied Artists' Association and newly appointed Director of Leeds City Art Gallery, and Michael Sadler, the new Vice-Chancellor of the University of Leeds.

 Gurdjieff Legacy, Book Reviews
Orage summed up the situation: "Gurdjieff regarded me as someone who had, so to speak, come with him from another planet with a task to carry out.
One day she warned Orage, who was on his way out the door to see Gurdjieff, that if he saw Gurdjieff again—despite the vituperative group meetings against Orage, he had been meeting with Gurdjieff virtually every day—it would be the last he would see of her.
Later, however, Orage and Jessie met Gurdjieff at a student’s apartment and Jessie said something so rude that it forced Orage to tell her to shut up.

 On Love/Psychological Exercises: With Some Aphorisms & Other Essays: Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Alfred Richard Orage (1873-1934) was the well known editor of 'The New Age', a literary magazine in London, when he started correspondence with P.D. Ouspensky in 1914, eventually met him in London in 1921 and moved to France in 1922 to study with G. Gurdjieff at The Prieure.
Orage was the longtime editor of the magazine The New Age (and the term "new age" gets all of its most pejorative definitions from the stupidity of the magazine, originally), and it's pretty easy to tell from reading this.
Every once in a while, Orage does manage to hit the nail on the head, and most of the time, he does so in this essay.

Douglas’ first book, Economic Democracy was written in close collaboration with Alfred Richard Orage, the leading guild socialist and editor of The New Age.
Rather, through his mentor Orage, he formed a key element of the opposition not so much to the industrialisation, but to commercialisation of society.
He raised the key question, ‘where does money come from?’ to counter the tautological ‘where is the money to come from?’ being increasingly used to counter common sense solutions to socio-economic and political questions.

His literary skills and wide range of interests led him to edit the enormously influential journal The New Age from 1907 until 1922.

When the state-paid busybodies were interfering with the domain of the family, when monopoly was liquidating the independent businessmen, and bureaucratic socialism was clearly the ascendant political reality, Chesterton declared that the only solution possible was a return to moral objectivity and dogmatism: The family and property sacred institutions.
Relativism had become, Coates noted, "a fact of living." People everywhere, including Orage, began to "entertain vast cosmologies," based on the principle of evolution, through which human nature could be transformed by scientific processes.
Philosophically, Orage was at nearly the opposite pole from Belloc and Chesterton, but what made Orage such a fine publisher was his commitment to airing differing views and encouraging fierce debate.

Despite the painstaking work of Pound scholars, the mythos of The Cantos has yet to be properly understood — primarily because until now its occult sources have not been examined sufficiently.
Drawing upon archival as well as recently published material, this study traces Pound's intimate engagement with specific occultists (W. Yeats, Allen Upward, Alfred Orage, and G. Mead) and their ideas.
The author argues that speculative occultism was a major factor in the evolution of Pound's extraordinary aesthetic and religious sensibility, much noticed in Pound criticism.
