Gilbert Keith Chesterton, mostly known as G. K. Chesterton, was an author, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, lay theologian, biographer, and literary and art critic. He is frequently called as the "prince of paradox". Time magazine has noticed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories?first carefully turning them inside out." G. K. Chesterton is best known for his story bound detective priest Father Brown, and for his coherent defenses. Even most of those who oppose with him have observed the massive interest of his works such as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. He customarily denote himself as an "orthodox" Christian, and drew closer to classify this stance all the more with Catholicism, finally converting to Catholicism from High Church Anglicanism. George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" in accordance to Time, stated of him, "He was a man of colossal genius." Biographers have recognized him as a follower to some Victorian writers such as Matthew Arnold, Thomas Carlyle, Cardinal John Henry Newman, and John Ruskin.
