Chesterton, G K: Fancies Versus Fads, v1, 5 September 2009.
G. K. Chesterton(1874–1936)
Fancies versus Fads (1923) A collection of essays. From the Introduction: “I have strung these things together on a slight enough thread; but as the things themselves are slight, it is possible that the thread (and the metaphor) may manage to hang together. These notes range over very variegated topics and in many cases were made at very different times. They concern all sorts of things from lady barristers to cave-men, and from psycho-analysis to free verse. Yet they have this amount of unity in their wandering, that they all imply that it is only a more traditional spirit that is truly able to wander.” Contents Introduction; The Romance of Rhyme; Hamlet and the Psycho-Analyst; The Meaning of Mock Turkey; Shakespeare and the Legal Lady; On Being an Old Bean; The Fear of the Film; Wings and the Housemaid; The Slavery of Free Verse; Prohibition and the Press; The Mercy of Mr. Arnold Bennett; A Defence of Dramatic Unities; The Boredom of Butterflies; The Terror of a Toy; False Theory and the Theatre; The Secret Society of Mankind; The Sentimentalism of Divorce; Street Cries and Stretching the Law; Why Reforms Go Wrong; The Innocence of the Criminal; The Prudery of the Feminists; How Mad Laws Are Made; The Pagoda of Progress; The Myth of the “Mayflower”; Much Too Modern History; The Evolution of Slaves; Is Darwin Dead?; Turning Inside Out; Strikes and The Spirit of Wonder; A Note On Old Nonsense; Milton and Merry England This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
