Summary
G. K. Chesterton is remembered as a brilliant creator of nonsense and satirical verse, author of the Father Brown stories and the innovative novel, 'The Man who was Thursday', and yet today he is not counted among the major English novelists and poets. However, this biography argues that Chesterton should be seen as the successor of the great Victorian prose writers, Thomas Carlyle, Matthew Arnold, John Ruskin, and above all John Henry Newman. This full-length life of G. K. Chesterton presents a biography of both the man and the writer.--, Provided by publisher
