Jackson acted as co-editor only for the first year, after which Orage edited it alone until he sold it in 1922. ^[1][2] By that time his interests had moved towards mysticism, and the quality and circulation of the journal had declined. Mysticism (from the Greek grc μυστικός mystikos, an initiate of a Mystery religion) is the pursuit of communion with identity According to Brown University, "The New Age helped to shape modernism in literature and the arts from 1907 to 1922". ^[3]

The magazine was founded as a Journal of Christian liberalism and Socialism, published as early as 1894. ^[4] Orage and Jackson re-orientated it to promote the ideas of Nietzsche, Fabian socialism and later a form of Guild socialism. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15 1844 August 25 1900 ( was a nineteenth-century German philosopher and classical philologist The Fabian Society is a British Intellectual Socialist movement whose purpose is to advance the principles of Social democracy via Gradualist Guild socialism is a political movement advocating workers' control of industry through the medium of trade-related Guilds. Opposing viewpoints and arguments were put forward in The New Age, even on issues upon which Orage had strong opinions. Topics covered in detail were the role of private property in a debate between H. G. Wells and G. B. Shaw against G. K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc, the need for a socialist party (distinct from the newly-formed Labour Party) and women's suffrage. Property is any physical or virtual entity that is owned by an individual Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 &ndash 13 August 1946 He was an outspoken socialist and a pacifist, his later works becoming increasingly political George Bernard Shaw ( (26 July 1856 &ndash 2 November 1950 was an Irish Playwright.

Founded at the start of the 20th century it has been since the 1920s the principal party of the On this last point, the editorial line moved from initial support to bitter opposition by 1912. As The New Age moved away from Fabian politics, the leaders of the Fabian Society, Beatrice and Sydney Webb founded the journal The New Statesman to counter its effect in 1913, and this combined with the growing distance between Orage and the mainstream left reduced its influence.

The journal appeared weekly, and featured a wide cross-section of writers with an interest in literature and the arts, but also politics, spiritualism and economics.

Sigmund Freud (ˈziːkmʊnt ˈfʁɔʏt born Sigismund Shlomo Freud (May 6 1856 &ndash September 23 1939 was an Austrian Psychiatrist who founded

"The New Age" was also highly preoccupied with the definition and development of Modernism in the visual arts, literature and music, and consistently observed, reviewed and contributed to the activities of the movement. Modernism describes an array of Cultural movements rooted in the changes in Western society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century

With its woodprint illustrations reminiscent of artwork by the German Expressionists, its mixture of culture, politics, Nietzschean philosophy and spiritualism, and its non-standard appearance, The New Age has been cited as the English equivalent of the German Expressionist periodical Der Sturm, a journal to which it bore a striking resemblance. German Expressionism is the term used to refer to a number of related creative movements which emerged in Germany before the first world war which reached a peak in Berlin Der Sturm (The Storm was a magazine of Expressionism founded in Berlin in 1910 by Herwarth Walden.
