Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback G(ilbert) K(eith) Chesterton (1874-1936) Prolific English critic and author of verse, essays, novels, and short stories. Chesterton was with George Bernard Shaw, Hilaire Belloc, and H.G. Wells among the big Edwardian men of letters. He is probably best known for his series about the priest-detective Father Brown who appeared in 50 stories. Between 1900 and 1936 Chesterton published some one hundred books. "The vast mass of humanity, with their vast mass of idle books and idle words, have never doubted and never will doubt that courage is splendid, that fidelity is noble, that distressed ladies should be rescued, and vanquished enemies spared. There are a large number of cultivated persons who doubt these maxims of daily life, just there are a large number of persons who believe they are the Prince of Wales; and I am told that both classes of people are entertaining conversationalists." (from 'A Defense of Penny Dreadfuls', 1901)

Extractions: English writer, who became popular for his brilliant, vigorous, and witty style, despite holding sometimes controversial views. He was born in London and educated at Saint Paul's School and the Slade School of Art in London. Although originally a liberal in his philosophy, he later became a conservative. In the late 1890s Chesterton formed a lasting friendship with English writer Hilaire Belloc , also a conservative, and the two men established a journal to expound their views. Chesterton became a Roman Catholic in 1922, and many of his works, even those written before his conversion, are defenses of Roman Catholicism and religious orthodoxy in general. In 1900 Chesterton published his first books, the poetry collections The Wild Knight and Greybeards at Play. His more important nonfiction works include books of literary criticism, such as Robert Browning Charles Dickens (1906), and George Bernard Shaw (1909); theological studies, such as Orthodoxy (1909), St. Francis of Assisi (1923), and St. Thomas Aquinas (1933); and books of social criticism, such as The Defendant (1901) and What's Wrong With the World (1910). Today Chesterton is perhaps most famous for his novels The Napoleon of Notting Hill (1904), a futuristic fantasy, and The Man Who Was Thursday (1908), a witty allegory, and for a series of detective stories relating the adventures of Father Brown, a mild-mannered Roman Catholic sleuth.

It is a disease which arises from men no having sufficient power of expression to utter and get rid of the element of art in their being. Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.

Extractions: G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English essayist, journalist and poet. He was called the "metaphysical journalist" because unlike most of his peers, he did not avoid discussing philosophy in fact, he relished it. He is certainly one of the most prolific writers in history, with more than 100 books, contributions to more than 200 other books, five novels, five plays, hundreds of poems, nearly 200 short stories, and more than 4,000 essays. He is the author of the famous poem Ballad of the White Horse , as well as the popular "Father Brown" detective series. What he is most famous for, however, is his thinking and his wit. He had an uncanny ability to get to the heart of any controversy, and had the courage to expose hypocrisy wherever he saw it. He was a staunch Catholic in an intellectual world of atheists and agnostics. He lacked a formal college education, yet was able to engage social history, politics, philosophy, religion and ethics with a brilliance that most often exceeded that of professional academics in those fields. He was essentially the intellectual version of the "self-made man," a type of personality of which the world has seen far too few. The influence he has had is one of the mysteries of modern culture because while he was one of the primary influences on people like Lewis and Ghandi, he is hardly mentioned today, and largely unknown to the average reader despite the fact that virtually everything he penned was written
