Beatrice Hastings was the pen name of Emily Alice Haigh (1879-1943) an English writer, poet and literary critic. Much of her work was published in "The New Age" under a variety of pseudonyms, and she lived with the editor, A. R. Orage, for a time before the outbreak of the First World War. She was a friend of Katherine Mansfield, whose work was first published in "The New Age".

Born in London and raised in South Africa, just before the war, she moved to Paris [Born in London, raised in S.A. based in Paris [http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/ra-magazine/summer2006/features/] Retrieved 09/10/07] and became a figure in bohemian circles due to her friendship with Max Jacob. She shared an apartment in Montparnasse with Amedeo Modigliani and posed for him as well.

Towards the end of her life she felt excluded from the literary recognition she felt her due, and blamed Orage, whom she accused of conspiring to keep her out of literary circles in Britain, and she published a pamphlet, "The Old New Age", bitterly criticising him in 1936. In 1943, probably suffering from cancer, she killed herself with gas from a domestic cooker.
