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.
