"Readers and Writers" by A. R. Orage is a collection of critical essays reflecting on literature and literary events written in the early 20th century. The volume encompasses a range of topics from the responsibilities of the press to analyses of significant authors like Henry James and Turgenev, showcasing Orage's commitment to serious literary criticism. At the start of the collection, the author notes the original intent behind his contributions to the
"New Age", to provide thoughtful commentary on literary happenings with the same seriousness as political discourse. Orage reveals the challenges he faced in this pursuit, pointing out how literary critiques often lack the structured order found in political commentary and noting the historical shifts his ideas have undergone over time. He emphasizes a belief in the continuing evolution of literary style and criticism, presenting a reflective tone that sets the stage for the diverse topics that follow in subsequent essays.
