Snapshots of twentieth-century Europe and the world, the essays in A Miscellany of Men cover a range of topics, from literature and philosophy to history and social criticism. Included, among others, are “The Suffragist,” “The Poet and the Cheese,” “The Fool,” and “The Elf of Japan.” All are examined from the perspective of Chesterton’s integral, unapologetic Catholicism and discussed with his typical razor-sharp wit.
