British writer GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON (18741936) expounded prolifically about his wideranging philosophieshe is impossible to categorize as "liberal" or "conservative," for instanceacross a wide variety of avenues he was a literary critic, historian, playwright, novelist, columnist, and poet. His witty, humorous style earned him the title of the "prince of paradox," and his works80 books and nearly 4,000 essaysremain among the most beloved in the English language. The only work he dedicated to his wife, this may have been Chestertons own favorite. Considered by some to be the last great epic poem in the English language, this 1911 work sings the praises of the English king Alfred, who battled the invading Danish Vikings in AD 879. Chronicling not only a great military victory but, the cultural triumph of Christianity over paganism in the Dark Ages, this unfairly forgotten literary masterpiece will delight students of English poetry.
