G.K Chesterton Library, Oxford

Chesterton was one of the greatest men of letters of the 20th century. Brillant in almost any subject that he set his mind to, Chesterton could move from a criticism of litearture the profoundest insights into philosophy and theology.

Presently I have the honour of cataloguing the work of this great man in the G.K. Chesterton Library. This is the premier collection of works by Chesterton as well as housing numerous realia of Chesterton including his own library. The collection is a labour of love, brought together by the dovoted Chestertonian Aidan Mackey. It now has, at long last a web site, a blog, in preperation for its new home at the Oxford Oratory.

The site can be found here:

If you have never read anything by Chesterton, you are in for a treat. No matter what subject or genre you pick you will be amazed, amused and delighted.
