British writer GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON (1874-1936) expounded
prolifically about his wide-ranging philosophies-he is impossible
to categorize as "liberal" or "conservative," for instance-across a
wide variety of avenues: he was a literary critic, historian,
playwright, novelist, columnist, and poet. His witty, humorous
style earned him the title of the "prince of paradox," and his
works-80 books and nearly 4,000 essays-remain among the most
beloved in the English language First published in 1904, this
allegorical fantasy is, perhaps, Chesterton's most curious book, a
futuristic satire on public apathy, the corruption of the ruling
class, and the collapse of local tradition. Though set in the year
1984, Chesterton does not concern himself with exploring the
possible technological advances on the horizon at the beginning of
the century: instead, he looks to the sociological, and so produced
a work that comes startlingly close to predicting the indifference
of the modern hoi polloi. Known to have inspired the hero of Irish
independence, Michael Collins, as well as, perhaps, George Orwell's
1984, this is a stellar example of Chesterton's comic genius.
