  Chesterton Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born on May 29, 1874, in London and died June 14, 1936, in Beaconsfield, a suburb of London in Buckinghamshire.
This three-fold division is somewhat misleading inasmuch a Chesterton's thought was of a piece, and in the torrent of his essays and books he did not separate religion from literature or politics, but discussed them as part of one integral worldview.
In verse Chesterton was a master of traditional forms, such as the ballade and the sonnet, but he was an innovative versifier also, as evidenced in the influential poem "Lepanto" (1911).

 Who is this guy and why haven't I heard of him?
Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism, history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology.
According to contemporary accounts, Chesterton usually emerged as the winner of these contests, however, the world has immortalized his opponents and forgotten Chesterton, and now we hear only one side of the argument, and we are enduring the legacies of socialism, relativism, materialism, and skepticism.
It seems that Chesterton is tough to pigeonhole, and if a writer cannot be quickly consigned to a category, or to one-word description, he risks falling through the cracks.

 Amazon.de: St Francis of Assisi: English Books: Gilbert Keith Chesterton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Chesterton is not afraid to digress to make his own points, and like the intellectual critic who cannot contain the myriad of responses to particular points, Chesterton treats us to a generous collection of tangential observations.
Chesterton points out the importance of the difference, likening it to the difference between creator and creature, but there is still the interesting development in history where some tried to make Francis a second Christ (something Francis himself would have opposed bitterly).
Chesterton looks at Francis, in varying cadences, from the inside, to help us think and feel as he did, then from the outside, as children of the Enlightenment, a two-perspective approach that gives us a rounded figure.
