On the publication of Orthodoxy in 1908, Wilfrid Ward hailed G. K. Chesterton as a prophetic figure whose thought was to be classed with that Burke, Butler, Coleridge, and John Henry Newman. When Chesterton died in 1936, T. S. Eliot pronounced that 'Chesterton's social and economic ideas were the ideas for his time that were fundamentally Christian and Catholic'. But how did he come by these ideas? Eliot noted that he attached 'significance also to his development, to his beginnings as well as to his ends, and to the movement from one to the other'.

Chesterton explores an often-overlooked aspect of his life and work -- the personal relationships with his younger brother Cecil, Cecil's wife Ada (also known as 'Keith') and, in particular, the friend and mentor of both brothers, Hilaire Belloc. This brilliant biographical study challenges the conventional image of Chesterton. With the help of p...
