1. Chesterton, G.K.
Brief biographical entry from Microsoft Encarta.
http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/C/chestertonGK/1
Chesterton, G.K.
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.

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)

Hymn for the Church Militant
Great God, that bowest sky and star,
 Bow down our towering thoughts to thee,
And grant us in a faltering war
  The firm feet of humility.
Lord, we that snatch the swords of flame,
  Lord, we that cry about Thy ear,
We too are weak with pride and shame,
  We too are as our foemen are.
Yea, we are mad as they are mad,   Yea, we are blind as they are blind, Yea, we are very sick and sad   Who bring good news to all mankind. The dreadful joy Thy Son has sent   Is heavier than any care; We find, as Cain his punishment,   Our pardon more than we can bear. Lord, when we cry Thee far and near   And thunder through all lands unknown The gospel into every ear,   Lord, let us not forget our own. Cleanse us from ire of creed or class,   The anger of the idle kings; Sow in our souls, like living grass,   The laughter of all lowly things. King Alfred answers the Danes 'When God put man in a garden He girt him with a sword, And sent him forth a free knight That might betray his lord;

I am proud of being fettered by antiquated dogmas and enslaved by dead creeds (as my journalistic friends repeat with so much pertinacity), for I know very well that it is the heretical creeds that are dead, and that it is only the reasonable dogma that lives long enough to be called antiquated.

"Who is this guy and why haven’t I heard of him?"
by Dale Ahlquist President American Chesterton Society I’ve heard the question more than once. It is asked by people who have just started to discover G.K. Chesterton. They have begun reading a Chesterton book, or perhaps have seen an issue of Gilbert! Magazine, or maybe they’ve only encountered a series of pithy quotations that marvelously articulate some forgotten bit of common sense. They ask the question with a mixture of wonder, gratitude and . . . resentment. They are amazed by what they have discovered. They are thankful to have discovered it. And they are almost angry that it has taken so long for them to make the discovery. "Who is this guy. . .?" Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) cannot be summed up in one sentence. Nor in one paragraph. In fact, in spite of the fine biographies that have been written of him, he has never been captured between the covers of one book. But rather than waiting to separate the goats from the sheep, let’s just come right out and say it: G.K. Chesterton was the best writer of the 20th century. He said something about everything and he said it better than anybody else. But he was no mere wordsmith. He was very good at expressing himself, but more importantly, he had something very good to express. The reason he was the greatest writer of the 20

G. K. (Gilbert Keith) Chesterton (1874-1936)
Biographical note
English writer. In 1900, Chesterton was asked to write a few magazine articles on art criticism, which sparked his interest in writing. He went on to become one of the most prolific writers of all time. Chesterton's writings displayed a wit and sense of humor that is unusual even today, while often time making extremely serious comments on the world, government, politics, economics, philosophy, theology, or a hundred other topics. Chesterton wrote 100 books, several hundred poems, 200 short stories, 4000 essays and a few plays. He was a columnist for the Daily News, Illustrated London News and his own paper, G.K's Weekly. He was a literary and social critic, historian, playwright, novelist, Catholic Christian theologian, debater and mystery writer. His most well-known character is the priest-detective Father Brown, although arguably his most well-known novel The Man Who Was Thursday does not concern Father Brown at all. More ...

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.
G.K. Chesterton was born in London into a middle-class family on May 29, 1874. He studied at University College and the Slade School of Art (1893-96). Around 1893 he had gone through a crisis of skepticism and depression and during this period he experimented with the Ouija board and grew fascinated with diabolism. In 1895 Chesterton left University College without a degree and worked for the London publisher Redway, and T. Fisher Unwin (1896-1902). Chesterton later renewed his Christian faith; the courtship of his future wife, Frances Blogg, whom he married in 1901 also helped him to pull himself out of his spiritual crisis.
In 1900 appeared Greybeards At Play

The artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs. 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. One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak. The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.
