Overview"British writer GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON (1874-1936) expounded prolifically about his wide-ranging philosophies-he is impossible to categorize as ""liberal"" or ""conservative,"" for instance-across a wide variety of avenues: he was a literary critic, historian, playwright, novelist, columnist, and poet. His witty, humorous style earned him the title of the ""prince of paradox,"" and his works-80 books and nearly 4,000 essays-remain among the most beloved in the English language In this collection of twenty classic essays, first published in 1905, Chesterton cleverly and wisely develops his ideas about ""heretics""-or those who have the great misfortune not to share his moderate outlook on the world. Essays include: . ""On the Importance of Orthodoxy"" . ""On Mr. Rudyard Kipling and Making the World Small"" . ""Mr. Bernard Shaw"" . ""Mr. H. G. Wells and the Giants"" . ""Christmas and the Aesthetes"" . ""On Scandals and Simplicity"" . ""Science and the Savages"" . ""Celts and Celtophiles"" . ""On Smart Novelists and the Smart Set"" . ""On the Wit of [James McNeill] Whistler"" . and others."
