Chesterton in America About GK Chesterton G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was the towering figure of Christian apologetics in the first half of the twentieth century. Playwright, poet, novelist, journalist, editor, theologian and philosopher, his literary range was both wide and astonishingly deep. From 1911 until his death in 1936, he and his brother edited The Eye-Witness, The New Witness, and G.K.'s Weekly. In addition he wrote prolifically for the Daily News, the Daily Herald, and the Illustrated London News - a body of journalism only now being collected and made available to a later generation. His fiction included the much loved Father Brown stories and novels of dazzling allegorical intelligence - The Man Who Was Thursday, (1908) The Napoleon of Notting Hill, (1904) The Ball and the Cross, (1910) The Flying Inn (1914). These alone are enough to justify Chesterton's reputation as a writer of powerful, even mystical, imagination. I see him as one riding through life scattering largesse. In his best poetry and prose there is the literary equivalent of that generosity of nature, of that magnanimity... I never tire of a chivalrous radiance that shines in his best work.

It was Lucian who, in 1900, also introduced the twenty-six-year old Gilbert to the thirty-year-old Belloc . Their reciprocal influence was lifelong as was their friendship.

G. K. Chesterton A Guide to Resources in Mount Angel Abbey Library Contents Index and Bibliography Books by Chesterton Books about Chesterton Articles about Chesterton ... Internet Resources Thanks especially to the donations of Joseph Sprug and Archbishop Robert Dwyer, Mount Angel Abbey Library has a large collection of materials by and about Gilbert Keith Chesterton. What follows is a guide to this collection and to research on Chesterton. Most of these materials can be found on the lowest floor of the library, in the Chesterton section (PR 4453). Gilbert Keith (G.K.) Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English writer, literary critic and author of the Father Brown detective stories. He was born in London and educated at St. Paul's School before studying art at the Slade. But art was always secondary to letters. He wrote regular articles for many newspapers and magazines, took over the New Witness on the death of his brother, Cecil, in 1918 and revived it as G.K.'s Weekly in 1924. He was a man of much geniality but he had a strong antipathy for the squalor of industrialism and disliked both capitalism and socialism, yearning, like his great friend Hilaire Belloc (whose books he amusingly illustrated), for a return to the distributivist economics of the Middle Ages. He sought to undermine secularism with an apologia that took religion as the guide and goal of all thought and action. He found sanity and creativity in a God-centered, not man-centered, universe; in an informed heart, not in rationalism or irrationalism. His 111 books (with about a dozen pamphlets) including essays, poetry, novels, and literary, social and religious studies (he was converted to Roman Catholicism in 1922), reveal his tremendous energy, robust humor and mastery of paradox.

Chesterton studied at University College and the Slade School of Art (1893-96). In 1922 Chesterton was converted from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism, and thereafter he wrote several theologically oriented works.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) G. K. Chesteron (Click for larger image) G. K. Chesterton came to Beaconsfield in 1909, and he lived here until his death on June 14 1936. The year was 1922. He did not go to Oxford, where so many of his friends went, but to Art Schools, principally the Slade School of Art. He writes of this period of his life in his Autobiography, entitled it, "How to be a Lunatic." Idling at his work, he fell in with other idlers. He dabbled in spiritualism. "I hung on to religion by one thin road of thanks." This road of thanks to a Person for the gifts of life sent revulsion in him from the atmosphere of evil. He loved humanity and he loved things. He loathed pessimism. He had something of St Francis of Assisi about him and he would speak of Sister Rain. He wrote: If the arms of a man could be a fiery circle Embracing the whole world I think I should be that man.

K. Chesterton A man with extraordinary heart and intellect , born in London, England writer Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) drew caricatures of his teachers in school and drifted from art to literature as a young student. Art , like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere," he once said. During his prolific career, Chesterton created over 100 books and articles that included poetry , essays, novels, and biographies. His successful detective-priest Father Brown mysteries were made into films in 1934 and 1954. The popular rotund writer and radio broadcaster was known for his jovial personality and optimism "The really great person is the person who makes every person feel great ," he said. Calling paradox " truth standing on its head to gain attention," his poetic essays examined and celebrated the beauty of life. "I believe is getting into hot water," said the master of irony. "I think it keeps you clean."

K.," has become the best known member of that group of Catholic writers who emerged in the first half of the twentieth century. He was born in London in 1874 and enjoyed a very happy childhood, an experience which was to color his later writings and attitude to life, an attitude which has aptly been described as "childlike" in the best sense of the word. This is what sets him apart from most "religious" writers, the fact that he approached religious themes, not as a theological expert, but as a layman with his eyes wide open to the wonder of the world. His exuberant and often paradoxical style has captivated many readers and ensured that his works remain extremely popular. After a period at art school he became a journalist and author, gradually moving towards a more explicit Christianity. He married Frances Blogg in 1901 and they lived in his adopted town of Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire. Their marriage was very happy but they had no children.

GK Chesterton Biography G.K. CHESTERTON 1874-1936 It is, today, perhaps hard to imagine that GK Chesterton's Father Brown was second only to Sherlock Holmes in popularity during the early 1900s. Whilst Father Brown may not have enjoyed the sustained interest amongst readers that has been reserved for the likes of Holmes and Poirot, he remains, still today, highly prized amongst collectors and the initiated reader alike. Born in London, on 28 May 1874, Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a famously prolific author on many subjects and in many different forms. As with other authors, though, we are confining our interests to his criminious works. The character of Father Brown was based on an Irish priest living in Yorkshire, John o'Connor. Chesterton was 29 when he met O'Connor and their friendship survived until the author's death in 1936. Father Brown first appeared in the Storyteller magazine, in September 1910, in a story entitled 'The Blue Cross'. This was followed on a monthly basis by a further 5 stories. These were later published in book form by Cassell in The Innocence of Father Brown The character enjoyed immediate success and Chesterton responded by writing twenty-five Father Brown stories over the next four years. This presumably taxed G K Chesterton's devotion to the character and the Norfolk Priest was subsequently 'dropped' for a decade.
