Heretics

Heretics belongs to yet another area of literature in which Chesterton excelled. A fun-loving and gregarious man, he was nevertheless troubled in his adolescence by thoughts of suicide. In Christianity, he found the answers to the dilemmas and paradoxes he saw in life. Other books in that same series include his 1908 Orthodoxy (written in response to attacks on this book) and his 1925 The Everlasting Man. The contents include Introductory Remarks on the Importance of Orthodoxy-On The Negative Spirit-On Mr. Rudyard Kipling and Making the World Small-Mr Bernard Shaw-Mr H.G Wells and the Giants- Christmas and the Esthetes-Omar and the Sacred Vine-The Mildness of the Yellow Press-The Moods of Mr. George Moore-On Scandal and Simplicity-Science and the Savages-Paganism and Mr. Lowes Dickson-Celts and Celtophiles-On Certain Modern Writers and the Institution of Marriages-On Smart Novelist and Smart Set-On Mr. McCabe and a Devine Frivolity-On the Wit of Whistler-The Fallacy of the Young Nation- Slum Novelists and the Slum-Concluding Remarks on the Importance of Orthodoxy.
