Updated - Sunday, 26 January, 2003 Prolific English critic and author of verse, essays, novels, and short stories. Chesterton (1874-1936) was with George Bernard Shaw, Hilaire Belloc, and H.G. Wells among the great Edwardian men of letters. He is probably best known for his series of novels featuring the priest-detective Father Brown who went on to appear in some 50 stories. Between 1900 and 1936 Chesterton published 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 G.K. Chesterton was born in London into a middle-class family. His father, Edward, was a member of the well-known Kensington auctioneer and estate agents business of Chesterton and his mother, Marie-Louise, was of Franco-Scottish ancestry.

His father, Edward, was a member of the well-known Kensington auctioneer and estate agents business of Chesterton and his mother, Marie-Louise, was of Franco-Scottish ancestry. He did not learn to read until he was over eight and one of his teachers told him, "If we opened your head, we should not find brain but only a lump of white fat". 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.

Accueil Index Catégories Dossiers ... Imprimer Le divin, Lettres Gilbert Keith Chesterton Biographie en résumé Écrivain et journaliste anglais (1874-1936) Il est impossible de comparer cet écrivain à qui que ce soit. Si comme journaliste, il a signé des milliers d'articles dans les journaux de Londres, il est surtout un auteur qui a touché tous les domaines aussi bien la poésie que le théâtre, le roman, la critique littéraire, la sociologie, l'économique, l'histoire, la philosophie et la religion. Sans oublier ses romans policiers. Cette vaste production repose sur une pensée cohérente et claire, et sur une vision telle que tous les thèmes traités sont liés entre eux. À chaque paragraphe ou presque, surgit un aphorisme qui coupe le souffle, ou un lumineux paradoxe qui laisse le lecteur pantois d'admiration. Chesterton ne s'est pas contenté de créer des caractères, il a lui-même été un caractère au sens le plus fort du mot. Lorsqu'il apparaissait quelque part, brandissant une canne en forme d'épée, sa silhouette corpulente (300 livres) enveloppée d'une cape, coiffé d'un chapeau bosselé et portant de minuscules lunettes lui tombant sur le bout du nez, sa présence provoquait l'amusement des spectateurs. Ce qui ne l'empêcha pas d'être l'un des hommes les plus aimés de son temps. Même ses adversaires lui vouaient une grande affection. Son humilité, son émerveillement devant la vie, sa bonté gracieuse et sa joie de vivre le mettaient à part non seulement des artistes et des célébrités mais de tout être humain.

J. P de Fonseka and G. K. Chesterton J. P. De Fonseka was one of the greatest English writers Ceylon ever produced. He has been compared with the the best of English essayists like Charles Lamb, E. V. Lucas, G. K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc and was a friend and great admirer of Gilbrt Keith Chesterton. In fact he was natured in the Chester-Belloc school of writing and G. K. was to have a great influence on his writings. This close association brought them together many times. J. P. closely associated Chesterton while he was in England during the period 1926 to 1930. This rare picture of that association shows G. K. Chesterton with J. P. de Fonseka, possibly taken around 1929 while J. P. was in England. J. P. also counted amongst his friends, some of the literary giants of the era. Names mentioned in the articles about him include Hilaire Belloc, E. V. Lucas, Bernard Shaw, Robert Lynd, Eric Gill, A. P. Herbert, Walter de la Mare, Sir John Squire, and Francis Thompson among others. J. P. also edited two of Chesterton's Anthologies (collections of Essays) in 1929. A comprehensive list of Chesterton publications, included in a website dedicated to him, lists two books which J. P. contributed as editor or compiler. An extract from this comprehensive list is reproduced below. A link to this website has been provided at the end of this page.

It is only the last and wildest kind of courage that can stand on a tower before ten thousand people and tell them that twice two is four.

Best known perhaps for his Father Brown mysteries, he also wrote novels, poetry, biography, literary criticism, social commentary and apologetics.

home about Catholic.net Ask an Expert Daily Meditations ... Lifelong Faith Development christian LITERATURE Introduction to G.K. Chesterton by Edward Peters, JD/JCD Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was the brightest star in a constellation of great men who illuminated English and Catholic letters during the first half of the twentieth century. Forever linked with such giants as Hilaire Belloc, Msgr. Ronald Knox, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Evelyn Waugh, writers who excelled in two or three forms of writing, Chesterton worked in a half-dozen genres, and mastered nearly all of them. Moreover, his gentle personality and friendly manner of persuasion preserve him as the most readable of the great apologists who fought for Christian truth at the beginning of the bloody 20th century. Chesterton is often called the most quoted man in English; he was certainly one of the most prolific. Beyond his vast literary output, his exhaustive public speaking and debating work did much to advance the cause of common sense in general, and of Christian spiritual wisdom in particular. Indeed, Chesterton's conversion to the Catholic Church in 1922 was (second only to the disruption of the First Vatican Council during the Italian Revolution) the most talked-about religious event in Europe since the conversion of fellow Englishman John Henry Newman some 75 years earlier. Upon his death, Chesterton was named by Pope Pius XI a "Defender of the Catholic Faith" thereby redeeming somewhat a similar title bestowed on but squandered by another Englishman 400 years earlier. His devoted wife of 35 years, Frances Blogg, who helped bring the younger Chesterton out of a confused mishmash of world-views into a more critical Christianity, eventually followed her husband into the Church and died just two years after him.
