    About this ebook

    "Twelve Types" by G. K. Chesterton is a collection of twelve essays that were, initially, published in two periodicals, "The Daily News" and "The Speaker". The essay topics in the book are commentary of other writers and people of note, from Charlotte Bronte to Tolstoy, the book served both as a work of commentary and as an educational resource for those looking to get a little more insight in writers who, up until that point, were difficult to study the lives of.

    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.
