About This Book
G. K. Chesterton's hilarious defense... of just about anything In this hodgepodge of early musings, a young G. K. Chesterton operates under the conceit that many objects in the human purviewâranging from the humdrum and mundane to the outright ridiculousâcould use the advocacy of a good apologist every once in a while. This lively book, filled with essays from Chesterton's days as a budding journalist for the Speaker, vindicates everything from skeletons to detective stories, from patriotism to penny dreadfuls. An ardent defender of the indefensible, Chesterton earns his reputation as the "prince of paradox" in The Defendant and reminds us why he is often regarded as one of the greatest moral thinkers of his age.
