Description
G. K. Chesterton's essays, first published in 1908 and reprinted in 1915, take up flying subjects of the day and treat them as serious matter. Titles run from cockneys and their jokes, the fallacy of success, and running after one's hat, to patriotism and sport, French and English ways, and the Zola controversy.
Chesterton warns lovers of serious literature to keep clear, calling the pieces crude and shapeless papers on current themes. The charm lies in that very roughness: a sharp mind turning a small topic, a limerick, or a London street into an argument about how people live.
