Contributions to The New Age and The New English Weekly
This page gives statistical data on the number and percentage of articles and open letters by Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji that appeared in the two newspapers edited by Alfred Richard Orage, for which he worked as music critic between 1924 and 1934 and between 1932 and 1945, respectively. The New Age had already published nine of his letters before he joined them, and The New English Weekly would publish seven of his letters after he resigned.
A database of The New Age, with access to the complete issues in PDF format, has been created by the Modernist Journals Project, a joint project of Brown University (Providence, Rhode Island) and the University of Tulsa (Tulsa, Oklahoma). Coverage is limited to volumes 1-30 (May 1907-April 1922), when the journal was edited by Orage. A search for Sorabji returns 15 records.
The two tables below combine tables 3 and 4 and tables 5 and 6 found on pp. x-xiii of the introduction to my compilation An Annotated Bibliography of Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji’s Collected Published Writings (Bath: The Sorabji Archive, 1993), xiv, 141 pp., where some discussion is found.
