The goal of this anthology is to present a wealth of poetry, prose, and drama from the full sweep of the literary history of the British Isles, and to do so in ways that will bring out both the works' original cultural contexts and their lasting aesthetic power.-
An account of the Marconi affair, a scandal involving the various British Ministers and the Marconi Company. The Eye-Witness newspaper, founded by Hilaire Belloc, ran a series of articles accusing those involved of corruption in placing the contract and of using the positions to speculate in Marconi shares. The articles were attributed to Cecil Chesterton, G.K. Chesterton's brother, who had succeeded Belloc as editor.
