Gilbert Keith Chesterton (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936), was an English writer, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, lay theologian, biographer, and literary and art critic. Chesterton is often referred to as the "prince of paradox".
He is well known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and for his reasoned apologetics including works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton converted to Catholicism after a journey through secularism, Unitarianism and later High Church Anglicanism.
