All Things Considered
by G. K. Chesterton
All Things Considered contains more than thirty columns written by G.K. Chesterton for the London Daily News in the years leading up to World War I. Covering a variety of topics, each is written in the same high quality that readers would expect from Chesterton. In an essay on canvas, Chesterton reflects on some unusual double standards. Otherwise, he writes about everyday sorrows. The other covers literature. But whatever the topic, each of the articles in Everything Thought is Chesterton's usual masterpiece and encourages the reader to follow more of the 4,000 newspaper columns that Chesterton wrote during his career. G. K. Chesterton is known as novelist, essayist, storyteller, poet, philosopher, theologian, historian, artist, critic. He is less well known as a journalist these days, but all the evidence suggests that he considers his work for various newspapers to be his main raison d'être. Therefore, anyone who wants to research the works of this gigantic genius should include a sample of newspaper columns along with all his other brilliant books.
