G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English author renowned for creating the detective character Father Brown and for his contributions to Christian and Catholic apologetics. Born into the Church of England, he converted to Roman Catholicism at age 48. Chesterton's works span mystery, fantasy, poetry, and non-fiction.

G.K. Chesterton collaborates with various co-authors to explore the lives and works of prominent literary figures. "Robert Louis Stevenson" is co-authored with W. Robertson Nicoll, "Thomas Carlyle" with J.E. Hodder Williams, and "Charles Dickens" with F.G. Kitton. "Leo Tolstoy" is examined alongside Edward Garnett and G.H. Perris, while "Tennyson" is co-authored with Richard Garnett. The volume concludes with "Thackeray," co-authored by Lewis Melville. Each section delves into the unique contributions and biographical details of these celebrated authors.
