Robert Shimmin, jayam and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "All Things Considered" by G. K. Chesterton is a collection of essays written during the early 20th century. The work features Chesterton's keen observations and critiques on various contemporary topics, weaving through themes of society, culture, and morality, with an emphasis on humor and philosophical musings. The opening portion of the collection sets the stage for Chesterton’s candid reflections on literature and modernity. He expresses a certain disdain for the seriousness with which literature is often approached, emphasizing the joy of humor over solemnity. By acknowledging the imperfections inherent in his own writing—characterized as “crude and shapeless”—he playfully defends the spontaneity and urgency behind his essays. He critiques the notion of modernism as a form of snobbery and underscores the significance of authentic experiences over mere trendiness in thought, while hinting at his broader interrogation of societal values, particularly regarding philanthropy, journalism, and the implications of anonymity in modern life.
