This critical edition includes all of G K Chesterton’s contributions to the Daily News from 1901 to 1913. Many of these have never been republished since their initial appearance. Chesterton (1874–1936) was an important figure in the Edwardian literary world. He engaged closely with the vibrant new influences in literature and thought including those of Nietzsche, Ibsen, Maeterlinck, Shaw, Kipling, Whitman, Tolstoy and Wells. Shaped by these encounters, he reviewed a stream of new editions, biographies, and memoirs associated with literature, poetry and art for the Daily News. Increasingly relentless in his criticism of the Liberal Party, Chesterton’s articles for the paper also demonstrate his strong democratic and Christian convictions. In addition to Chesterton’s articles the edition includes letters from readers in the correspondence columns that provide evidence of the reception of his work. Several of these letters are from well-known writers and activists. Chesterton and his correspondents were engaged in most of the key debates of the time, such as education, eugenics, imperialism, temperance reform, women’s suffrage and foreign alliances. These writings are of interest to all historians working on Edwardian Britain, newspaper and periodical culture, religious, spiritual and political movements, social and literary criticism, science and philosophy.
