G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English author of various works, including Orthodoxy. He worked in publishing until 1902, when he began writing regularly. Chesterton's weekly columns appeared for decades in the Daily News and The Illustrated London News. He wrote more than 80 books, hundreds of poems, 200 short stories, and 4,000 essays. Chesterton's apologetic works have influenced generations of Christian belief and were notably influential in C.S. Lewis's conversion to Christianity.
