Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume's studies in literary criticism and biography, Chesterton exhibits his congenital perception of character and motive which makes all of his biographies shine. Chesterton's warm affection for Stevenson and Chaucer is vastly evident in his volumes on them. He was heavily influenced by Stevenson's romances that were full of manliness, courage and hope. Polemical literary criticism flourishes at its most vigorous in Chesterton's Chaucer, a tribute to medieval England and Chaucer's literature. His monographs on Tolstoy and Carlyle reveal keen insights into two very different writers, thus providing four unique studies that teach us much concerning the distinctions in literature and in life between normality and abnormality.

Download or read book More Personal Journeys written by Peter A. Fiore and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains six personal essays on six prominent classic authors written for the average reader who is minimally familiar with the authors, probably just heard of them by name, and would like an introduction to these literary figures and their works. The authors have been carefully chosen: two, Chaucer and Shakespeare, are primarily poets; two, Augustine and Newman, are primarily churchmen; and two, Chesterton and Greene, are primarily masters of prose. All six, however, are master craftsmen and have made an enormous contribution to world culture. The underlying argument of the book is that the authors' Christian faith gave impetus to their creative output. Although all the observations about the authors and their works are fully researched and based on Professor Fiore's years as professor and critic, a conscious effort has been made to avoid esoteric research problems, and their consequent footnotes, in an effort to present a readable and intimate approach to the writers. The book is ideal for the general reader, the undergraduate student, and the lover of great literature. The first chapter of the book entitled "Geoffrey Chaucer" presents a survey of the poet's life taking into consideration that records are few in terms of biographical information. Chaucer is seen as representative of that increasingly important middle class that was constantly infiltrating the aristocracy. He lived in a world that knew no reformation, no puritanism, jansenism, no victorianism. He was a product of a totally medieval Roman Catholic England. The early poems are given consideration here and "The Canterbury Tales," his masterpiece, is given fuller treatment. The pilgrims are described and thetales are discussed. Special consideration is given to the pilgrims whom posterity has seen as unique creations: the affected Madame Eglantyne and her "Prioress' Tale," the haughty Chanticleer and the "Nun's Priest Tale," the bawdy Wife of Bath and her tale about marital fidelity. The chapter concludes that Chaucer, who wrote in many genres, gave a loving and often hilarious picture of the many social types living in England at the time; he is deservedly considered the "Father of English Literature."

Download or read book G. K. Chesterton written by Ian Ker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-21 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 journalistic output, he became a formidable apologist for Christianity and Catholicism, as well as a powerful satirist of anti-Catholicism. This full-length life of G. K. Chesterton is the first comprehensive biography of both the man and the writer. It draws on many unpublished letters and papers to evoke Chesterton's joyful humour, his humility and affinity to the common man, and his love of the ordinary things of life.

Download or read book Chaucer at Large written by Steve Ellis and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offered as part of the sexcentenary commemoration of Chaucer's death, this very readable study examines Chaucer's impact on the academic and non-academic worlds of the 19th and 20th centuries. Chronological chapters assess Chaucer's impact on the Pre-Raphaelites, on W B Yeats, on Edwardian children's stories and on post-World War One authors. Ellis also considers modern translations and contrasts the relationship between academia's interest in Chaucer and his representation in the media and in historical fiction since the Second World War.

Download or read book The Dark Side of G.K. Chesterton written by John C. Tibbetts and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a critical study of the great British man of letters G.K. Chesterton, devoted to the novels, stories and essays that explore the darker fringes of his wild imagination. "Everything is different in the dark," wrote Chesterton; "perhaps you don't know how terrible a truth that is." Chesterton's use of the theme of "gargoyles" provides the thematic structure of the book. It covers the detective stories of Father Brown and others, the locked rooms and miracle crimes in his writing, his status as a science fiction writer, and the riddles and paradoxes of three works--Job, The Man Who Was Thursday, and the play The Surprise. This volume also includes an interlude about Chesterton and Jorge Luis Borges and a robust appendix including interviews about the formation of Ignatius Press's Collected Chesterton.
