About this ebook
Personal friends but philosophical opponents, Shaw and Chesterton had in their day great debates in print and in person that were both entertaining and notorious. In Chesterton’s provocative biography of the playwright, he reveals keen insights into Shaw, his literary works, and his political and philosophical views. In equal parts witty and perceptive, the book illuminates both men in the process.
G. K. Chesterton
G.K. Chesterton (1874–1936) was an English writer, philosopher and critic known for his creative wordplay. Born in London, Chesterton attended St. Paul’s School before enrolling in the Slade School of Fine Art at University College. His professional writing career began as a freelance critic where he focused on art and literature. He then ventured into fiction with his novels The Napoleon of Notting Hill and The Man Who Was Thursday as well as a series of stories featuring Father Brown.
