Samenvatting
Gilbert Keith Chesterton, (29 May 1874 14 June 1936) was a poet, novelist, playwright, literary commentator, editor, biographer, journalist, orator and theologian. He was often dubbed as the “prince of paradox” for his light whimsical style that often addressed serious issues such as politics and religion, .. The latter was as a member and defender of the Christian faith and the former was shaped by a distrust of concentrated wealth and power. He advocated Distributionism and said that every man should be allowed to own "three acres and a cow." These political views have spread round the world, crediting Chesterton as the father of the “small is beautiful” movement. It is also said to have influenced Gandhi in seeking a genuine nationalism for India rather than imitating the British state. As one of the worlds most prolific writers, his main claim to fame is as the creator of Father Brown, but Chestertons style and ideas in this work reveals a truth that makes it remarkably contemporary and relevant to the modern reader. G. K. Chesterton was a true patriot and felt that the love for his country should not make him blind to Englands support of Prussia that allowed it to get away with political bullying and territorial acquisitions over a period of years and ultimately meant it was not blameless in World War I. He is also critical at Englands response to the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon as well as in Ireland.. This is a fascinating and very different look at the domestic debate of the time and includes the slogan "every citizen is a revolution"
