Download or read book Rethinking G.K. Chesterton and Literary Modernism written by Michael Shallcross and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively rethinks the relationship between G.K. Chesterton and a range of key literary modernists. When Chesterton and modernism have previously been considered in relation to one another, the dynamic has typically been conceived as one of mutual hostility, grounded in Chesterton’s advocacy of popular culture and modernist literature’s appeal to an aesthetic elite. In setting out to challenge this binary narrative, Shallcross establishes for the first time the depth and ambivalence of Chesterton’s engagement with modernism, as well as the reciprocal fascination of leading modernist writers with Chesterton’s fiction and thought. Shallcross argues that this dynamic was defined by various forms of parody and performance, and that these histrionic expressions of cultural play not only suffused the era, but found particular embodiment in Chesterton’s public persona. This reading not only enables a far-reaching reassessment of Chesterton’s corpus, but also produces a framework through which to re-evaluate the creative and critical projects of a host of modernist writers—most sustainedly, T.S. Eliot, Wyndham Lewis, and Ezra Pound—through the prism of Chesterton's disruptive presence. The result is an innovative study of the literary performance of popular and ‘high’ culture in early twentieth-century Britain, which adds a valuable new perspective to continuing critical debates on the parameters of modernism.

Book excerpt: Writers as shallow as Fanon or as mendacious as Marcuse were elevated into cultural heroes; ruthless men of action like Mao Zedong and Che Guevara were canonised as enlightened intellectuals; charlatans like Le Corbusier jostled with obscurantists like Foucault and Habermas for the cultural eminence which the believing mass of revolutionary students was all too willing to bestow on them. Thinkers judged to be 'conservative', 'anti-revolutionary' or 'reactionary' were undervalued or dismissed. The modern history of our culture was distorted by the entirely false assumption that its principal representatives have been revolutionaries and modernists.

Download or read book Protestantism As Seen by G. K. Chesterton written by Wojciech Golonka and published by Dereggio. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid the enthusiasm agitating Christians during the celebrations of the five hundred years of the Reformation, it seems judicious to invite a "heavy" witness to weigh in on the festivities. Who could be more entitled to take part in such anniversary than a former liberal anti-dogmatic Protestant, who successively became an Anglican, a Unitarian, a modernist, an agnostic and an Anglo-Catholic, but who at last would finally become, once and for all, a Roman Catholic? Though G. K. Chesterton offers not only a "heavy" but indeed a very "jolly" testimony, his thoughts on this matter may spoil the laughter of some of the celebrants of the current anniversary. Nonetheless, the unsettling genius of Chesterton needs no lawyer's defense. He defends it better in his own rather amusing way, thundering a sharp wake-up call to our intellectual lethargy. May the reader please excuse all introductions, remarks and commentaries of the scribe that a more alert reader perhaps may find superfluous. (from the introduction) "We have come out of the shallows" of Protestantism to enter into "the one deep well" or fountain of Catholicism: such is the sincere testimony of a Protestant convert to Catholicism. Particularly worth mulling over in this year of the Lord 2017, five hundred years after the beginning of the so-called Reformation. (from the conclusion)

Chesterton’s perceptive analysis of core issues within modern society remains startling relatable nearly 100 years since its publication. Written shortly after his conversion to Catholicism, he writes with tremendous foresight focusing on subjects like Catholicism, Reformation and Protestantism, and other profound writings on political and social issues based around the central theme of religion. Essays in this volume include: My Six Conversions The Return to Religion The Higher Nihilism The Ascetic At Large Babies and Distribution A Century of Emancipation Trade Terms Shocking the Modernists Sex and Property Why Protestants Prohibit Where is the Paradox? The Well and the Shallows is an insightful collection of essays on some of the most important ideas of the modernist era written by one of the greatest English writers of the 20th century. It is a perfect read for those interested in the work of G. K. Chesterton or any with a broader interest in historical, social analysis from a religious perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orthodoxy is a book by G. K. Chesterton. This is one of the best apology of the Christian religion in contemporary history. It was written after the publishing of another Chesterton’s book, Heretics when the author had been accused of encouraging the readers to appeal to his philosophy whereas such philosophy didn’t exist. Orthodoxy became the book of such philosophy. Chesterton wrote, “...It is the purpose of the writer to attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian Faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it. The book is therefore arranged upon the positive principle of a riddle and its answer. It deals first with all the writer's own solitary and sincere speculations and then with all the startling style in which they were all suddenly satisfied by the Christian Theology...

Download or read book Heretics and Orthodoxy written by G. Chesterton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-09 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition brings together two of G.K. Chesterton's most lauded collections of essays on spirituality, society and Christian apologetics. Heretics is a superb collection of twenty essays by G.K. Chesterton, which sees the author rail against aspects of society he views as unfair and discriminatory. Starting with the terms 'Orthodoxy' and 'Heretic', Chesterton derides modern society for having denigrated these words to the extent that they are synonymous with being, rather than being right. The attitude of modernity is argued to be both hypocritical and ridiculous - simultaneously lauding and destroying certain artists who would hold unusual beliefs and act on them. A quote from the first essay: "In the fifteenth century men cross-examined and tormented a man because he preached some immoral attitude: in the nineteenth century we feted and flattered Oscar Wilde because he preached such an attitude, and then broke his heart in penal servitude because he carried it out. It may be a question of which of the two methods was the more cruel: there can be no kind of question which was the more ludicrous. The age of the Inquisition has not at least the disgrace of having produced a society which made an idol of the very same man for preaching the very same things which it made him a convict for practising." -- In Orthodoxy, G.K. Chesterton sets out his ideas and thoughts on the subject of Catholic and Christian principles, and how humans spiritual and worldly needs correspond to each. The collection of essays each cover a topic specific to religion and its place in modern life. Intended to be a companion for G.K. Chesterton's earlier work essays titled Heretics, this book is an ebullient rejoinder to the theological field after certain contemporaries had criticised his earlier efforts. The results are excellent: a succession of essays which combine the plain spoken and good humoured style which Chesterton made his own with the essential logic and reason that underpinned his arguments for faith and spiritualism. Eternally fresh for its timeless arguments, Orthodoxy was lauded upon its original release in 1908, and is today considered a classic in the field of Christian apologetics. The legacy of Chesterton as an impassioned writer and author on themes of spirituality has led to calls for posthumous canonization by figures within the Catholic church. Characterised by his easily digestible style, ready use and exposure of paradox, and his use of wit and humour to advance argument, Chesterton's fiction and non-fiction writings on the topics of human behaviour and wider society remain relevant and poignant to this day.
