G. K. Chesterton is remembered as a brilliant creator of nonsense and satirical verse, author of the Father Brown stories and the innovative novel, The Man who was Thursday, and yet today he is not counted among the major English novelists and poets. However, this major new biography argues that Chesterton should be seen as the successor of the great Victorian prose writers, Carlyle, Arnold, Ruskin, and above all Newman.
Chesterton's achievement as one of the great English literary critics has not hitherto been fully recognized, perhaps because his best literary criticism is of prose rather than poetry. Ian Ker remedies this neglect, paying particular attention to Chesterton's writings on the Victorians, especially Dickens. As a social and political thinker, Chesterton is contrasted here with contemporary intellectuals like Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells in his championing of democracy and the masses.
Pre-eminently a controversialist, as revealed in his prolific journalis

Their love is a beautiful thing and it shows frequently, but for the most part Baltic gives in to Ysolde's demands with just a bit of grumbling (okay, a lot of grumbling but he still usually gives in). Rather, it is organized by some sort of problem-(fiddling around)-inspiration-(fiddling around)-eureka! format. It is rather short, but I give it an extra star for listing resources for further reading, links to support groups and forums for people with ASAD.
