P. de Fonseka's 1929 collection of Chesterton prefaces, Livingston manifests the splendid literary breadth and depth necessary to reveal just what is unique and notable in Chesterton's essays--what holds up and what deserves new consideration. As he addresses topics ranging from Literary London and its luminaries, to the Book of Job, to Chesterton's own brother Cecil, the 'aha!' of Livingston's commentary blends seamlessly into these pages of Chesterton's own profundity and wit. --Isabel Anders In his introductory essays to J.

He dropped out of art school to work as a journalist. For the rest of his life most of his work appeared first in periodicals, including his own publication, G. K.'s Weekly, The Illustrated London News, The Daily News, and many others. His collected works are expected to run to fifty volumes, with most of the collections containing as many as three separate books, and each averaging about six hundred pages. Since his death in 1936, an inquiry into his case for canonization by the Roman Catholic is now underway. Arthur Livingston is an adjunct professor of English literature at Regent University and co-founder of the oldest continuously meeting chapter of the G. K. Chesterton Society in the United States. He has also written poetry for fifty-five years. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
