The Defendant
G. K. Chesterton · 1901
A 1901 collection of revised essays, first published in The Speaker, in which Chesterton playfully defends maligned and overlooked things such as penny dreadfuls, nonsense, slang, detective stories, and baby-worship, arguing that the world must be loved before it can be improved.
