Synopsis

G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) is now best remembered as the creator of the priest-detective, Father Brown, whose use of paradox in the solving of crimes was but one aspect of the paradox which lay behind G.K. Chesterton himself and is evident in his writings in many fields. This catalogue describes the collection bought from the Chesterton trustees after the death of his secretary, Dorothy Collins. It includes a comprehensive selection of manuscripts of his novels, biographies, Christian apologetics, his long series of perceptive articles for the "Illustrated London News" and other journals, including "The New Witness" and "G.K.'s Weekly", in which his philosophy of a third way, distributism, was set out. The archive also includes juvenilia, correspondence and sketches for his illustrations to Hillaire Belloc's novels.
