Friedrich Nietzsche: The Dionysian Spirit of the Age

Alfred Orage was one of the most significant figures in the modernist art and literary world of early twentieth century Britain. As co-founder of the Leeds Arts Club in 1903 he helped to introduce European modernism to Britain, and this continued as he became the editor of the most widely read art and literary journal of the time, The New Age. Friedrich Nietzsche was central to Orage's thinking, and in this little book he sought to introduce the German philosopher to a sometimes skeptical British public. Yet in doing so he placed his own spin on Nietzsche's work, forming a view of Nietzsche that was to influence a generation of art and literary figures, including Herbert Read and Clement Greenberg.
