Abstract
In the half-century since his death in 1936, Gilbert Keith Chesterton has remained largely obscure and controversial. His wit and genius as a writer live on in his books, especially Napoleon of Notting Hill, Who Was Thursday and in the Father Brown stories. However, it is the charges of Catholic apologist and anti-Semitist that the author tackles in this autobiography, drawing on his voluminous papers and the memories of Chesterton's acquaintances. Michael Coren also looks at his politics, his marriage and his attitudes to his fellow human beings. The text also contains a collection of photographs, many of which are published here for the first time. The author has contributed to New Statesman and Time Out and has written for television and BBC radio. His books include Theatre Royal - One Hundred Years of Stratford East and Outsiders. He lives in Canada and is a regular book-reviewer for the Toronto Star and works on the award-winning CBC series Man Alive.
