What is G.k. Chesterton As Controversialist, Essayist, Novelist, And Critic Gilbert K. Chesterton As Controversialist, Essayist, Novelist, And Critic about?

Now-retired scholar of English literature Coates seeks to rehabilitate British writer Chesterton (1874-1936) from his reputation as a minor writer or colorful period figure. He argues that his books on Browning and Victorian literature and his detective fiction continue to be important, and remain central to many current issues. He considers the modernist cultural context, the political formation of a speaking style, the Edwardian novel of ideas, the essay form, and Chesterton as a literary critic. The text is double spaced.
