Social, historical, and religious thought all figure prominently in this book, making it of great use in any study of the literary, religious, and social aspects of early 20th-century England and Europe generally. It will be of interest to students and scholars of the essay in English literature. It is a fine introduction to Chesterton's social criticism, which remains unique for its willingness to criticize some of the uncomfortable truths about capitalism without straying toward an inhuman bureaucratic socialism."@en
  • "Snapshots of twentieth-century Europe and the world, the essays in A Miscellany of Men cover a range of topics, from literature and philosophy to history and social criticism. Included, among others, are The Suffragist," The Poet and the Cheese," The Fool," and The Elf of Japan." All are examined from the perspective of Chesterton's integral, unapologetic Catholicism and discussed with his typical razor-sharp wit."
