More DescriptionIn a single, eye-opening volume, G.K. Chesterton presents complex critical analyses of this author s work. Gilbert Keith Chesterton, a remarkably prolific writer, achieved early success as an illustrator before establishing his literary merits as a novelist, playwright, critic, poet, essayist, and lecturer. His writing is varied and includes works of theology and literary criticism, but perhaps most notable among his literary achievements are his famed Father Brown mysteries, featuring the priest-sleuth, Father Brown. Bringing together a selection of the best criticism available, Harold Bloom breaks down the intricacies of Chesterton s work and analyzes the ideas presented in clear, accessible language.
