Orage, Alfred Richard (1875–1934), joined the Fabian Society, and was active in a wide range of artistic, political, and intellectual activities. Partly financed by G. B. Shaw and assisted initially by Holbrook Jackson (1874–1948), he edited the New Age, a periodical which acquired during this period much political and literary prestige. His contributors included both the established ( Shaw, Arnold Bennett, Wells, and others) and the as yet unknown (including Pound, K. Mansfield, Aldington, and T. E. Hulme). After leaving the New Age in 1922 he went to Fontainebleau, then New York, as a Gurdjieff disciple, returning to England in 1931 to found the New English Weekly, which he edited until his death.
