summary:
  That period which lay between them may roughly be called the Middle Ages, which part of history Chesterton thinks has been badly treated. While realizing the difficulties involved, he feels that the opportunities he has enjoyed give him at least some qualifications for the task, for not only is he a kinsman of Mr. Chesterton, but also has spent much time in his company.

  A Chesterton Calendar Compiled from the writings of 'G.K.C.' both in verse and in prose. With a section apart for the moveable feasts.

summary:
  Men are men, but Man is a woman. _' Great men like Ariosto, Rabelais, and Shakespeare fall in foul places, flounder in violent but venial sin, sprawl for pages, exposing their gigantic weakness, are dirty, are indefensible; and then they struggle up again and can still speak with a convincing kindness and an unbroken honour of the best things in the world:

summary:
  It is much more likely that modern men will eat human flesh out of affectation than that primitive man ever ate it out of ignorance. How much larger your life would be if your self could become smaller in it; if you could really look at other men with common curiosity and pleasure; if you could see them walking as they are in their sunny selfishness and their virile indifference!

summary:
  And hence the worship of great men always appears in times of weakness and cowardice; we never hear of great men until the time when all other men are small. But the thing signal-box is not unpoetical; it is a place where men, in an agony of vigilance, light blood-red and sea-green fires to keep other men from death.

summary:
  I should say that the overwhelming majority of American girls laugh at their female politicians at least as much as the majority of American men despise their male politicians. It is not by English dukes importing the daughters of American millionaires that England can get any glimpse of the democratic dignity of American men.

summary:
  I began to go through the manuscript unifying--and then I noticed that in a single paragraph of his _Bernard Shaw_ Gilbert uses GBS, Shaw, Bernard Shaw, and Mr. Shaw. Beyond one or two touches of this sort the idea had been a suggestion for a character, not a portrait, and in the _Autobiography_ and in the _Dickens_ Gilbert has a good deal to say of interest to the novelist about how such suggestions come and are used.
