Riassunto

G.K. Chesteron (1874-1936) is now best remembered as the creator of the priest detective, Father Brown, whose use of paradox in the solving of crimes was but one aspect of the paradox which lay behind Chesteron himself and is evident in his writings in many fields. This catalogue describes the collection bought form the Chesteron trustees after the death of his secreatry, Dorothy Collins. It includes a comprehensive selection of manuscripts of his novels, biographies, Christian apologetics, his long series of perspective articles for the Illustrated London News and other journals, including The New Witness and G.K.'s Weeky, in which his philosophy of a third way, distributism, was set out. The archive also includes juvenilia, correspondence and sketches for his illustraitions to Jillaire Belloc's novels, and is a fundamental source for students of this many-faceted lover of life, with an original style of presenting eternal truths, old-fashioned prejudices, new proposal and fresh insights into all manner of human behaviour.
