From detective stories and penny dreadfuls to skeletons, slang, and
patriotism, G. K. Chesterton offers fresh perspectives on a
remarkable range of subjects. The master essayist addresses each
topic -- planets, humility, nonsense, ugly things -- with his
characteristic combination of wit, paradox, and good humor.
Chesterton's "defenses" of seemingly innocuous matters reveal many
of the hidden assumptions and dogmas of his time.
The first collection of the prolific author's essays,
"The""Defendant" has been unavailable for many years. This earliest
edition features an eloquent Introduction by Dale Ahlquist,
president of the American Chesterton Society.
