Book Synopsis
Here, Mark Knight offers an analysis of Gilbert Keith Chesterton and the influence of his late 19th- and early 20th-century fiction. Arguing that a serious analysis of the nature of evil is at the center of Chesterton's fiction, Knight provides a means of locating Chesterton's work among theological and cultural concerns of his age.

Trade Review
" In place of the popular cricature of Chesterton as a lightweight Pollyanna, Knight postulates a writer who constructed a multifaceted and comprehensive response to evil." -- -G.A. Cevasco English Literature in Transition "Makes a valuable contribution to Chesterton scholarship by dispelling a chronic misconception about his thought." -Seven "Knight's book suceeds brilliantly in explaining the apparent contradiction between an author who taught a gospel of joy and a man who was preoccupied with the problem of evil." -Christianity & Literature "Knight acutely analyzes the nature of Chesterton's long struggle with nihilism." -The Christian Century
