Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) established himself as a controversial journalist before he began writing fiction in 1904. His best known character is Father Brown, a quiet and unassuming Catholic priest-detective, whom he immortalized in several volumes of short stories. Chesterton also wrote poetry and literary criticism and was a lifelong friend of essayist and poet Hilaire Belloc.
