Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Hillaire Belloc, and Max Beerbohm, G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) wrote essays of social criticism for contemporary journals, literary criticism (including notable books on Browning, Dickens, and Shaw), and works of theology and religious argument, but may have been best known for his Father Brown mysteries. Chesterton's interest in Catholic Christianity, first expressed in \u003ci\u003eOrthodoxy\u003c\/i\u003e, led to his conversion from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism in 1922. His classic \u003ci\u003eSaint Francis of Assisi\u003c\/i\u003e and the equally acclaimed \u003ci\u003eSaint Thomas Aquinas\u003c\/i\u003e confirmed his reputation as a writer with the rare ability to simultaneously entertain, inform, and enlighten readers.
