The Chesterton Society

THE CHESTERTON SOCIETY was founded in England in 1974, the centenary of the birth of Gilbert Keith Chesterton, to promote the understanding of his stature and continuing relevance.

This website is part of that continuing effort; it is at present in a basic and minimal form, and we hope to develop it in the future.

For the present, it gives details of how to join the society, of our most recent major event (a one-day conference on a little understood subject, ‘The Holiness of G.K.Chesterton’), and an introductory anthology of Chesterton’s works, which we hope will give some idea of the range and power of one of the great minds of the twentieth century.
