Gilbert Keith Chesterton, KC*SG (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936), otherwise called G. K. Chesterton, was an English essayist, artist, rationalist, screenwriter, writer, speaker, lay scholar, biographer, and abstract and craftsmanship faultfinder.
Chesterton is frequently alluded to as the "sovereign of oddity". Time magazine has seen of his written work style: "At whatever point conceivable Chesterton made his focuses with prominent idioms, adages, moral stories—first precisely turning them back to front."
Chesterton is notable for his anecdotal minister investigator Father Brown, and for his contemplated rational theology. Indeed, even some of the individuals who can't help contradicting him have perceived the wide interest of such functions as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton routinely alluded to himself as a "universal" Christian, and came to recognize this position increasingly with Catholicism, in the long run changing over to Catholicism from High Church Anglicanism. George Bernard Shaw, his "cordial foe", said of him, "He was a man of titanic virtuoso." Biographers have distinguished him as a successor to such Victorian creators as Matthew Arnold, Thomas Carlyle, Cardinal John Henry Newman, and John Ruskin.
