Overview

The two main obsession of Chesterton, art and religion, are together in this collection of essays that originated as literary reviews. The writers discussed in this volume are divided into two categories: “artistic temperaments” (Blake, Lord Byron, Brontë) and “religious temperaments" (Tolstoy, Savonarola). Each of these portraits demonstrates Chesterton’s remarkable ability to unite biography and critical essay.

Las dos grandes obsesiones de Chesterton, el arte y la religión, se reúnen en esta colección de ensayos que nacieron como reseñas literarias y acabaron convirtiéndose en un recorrido por lo bueno y lo superior. Así, los personajes glosados por Chesterton en este volumen, se dividen en dos categorías, los «temperamentos artísticos» (Blake, Lord Byron, Charlotte Brontë, William Morris, Robert Louis Stevenson) y los «temperamentos religiosos» (Francisco de Asís, Savonarola y Lev Tolstói). Cada uno de estos retratos nos permite descubrir a un Chesterton capaz de aunar, de un modo magistral, biografía y ensayo.
