Readers and Writers (1917-1921)

"Readers and Writers" by A. R. Orage is a collection of essays that looks into literature and writing from the early 1900s. The book includes a variety of subjects, from what the press should be doing to looking closely at important writers. The author's goal was to talk about writing with as much thought as serious political discussions. He talks about the difficulties in doing this, explaining that writing reviews don't always have the same structure as political thoughts and how his own ideas have changed over time. The book shows that writing styles and reviews are always changing, setting up the many subjects that will be spoken about in the book.
