Sources of Information
- Wikipedia, October 30, 2018(Fredric John Warburg (27 November 1898, Paddington, London - 25 May 1981, University College Hospital, London) was a British publisher best known for his association with the author George Orwell. Warburg started his publishing career in 1922, as an apprentice at Routledge & Sons; in 1935 he was dismissed. Later that year he and Roger Senhouse purchased the publishing firm of Martin Secker, which had gone into receivership, and renamed it Secker & Warburg. The firm became renowned for its independent left-wing position, being both anti-fascist and anti-Communist. In 1961 Warburg was made a director of the Heinemann group, a post he retained until his retirement in 1971. He also published two volumes of autobiography: An Occupation for Gentlemen (1959) and All Authors are Equal (1973))
