Chesterton positions himself as an assailant of \"the nonsense of the world\" a sworn enemy of fashionable doctrines and the excesses into which they lead their adherents. While sometimes dismissed as a fogeyish reactionary--an image to which he at times gleefully plays up--Chesterton emerges from these essays as a witty and perceptive critic possessed of a profound generosity of spirit. Ranging in its preoccupations from psychoanalysis and the temperance movement to child-rearing and free verse, \u003ci\u003eFancies versus Fads\u003c\/i\u003e is a brilliant introduction to one of the most distinctive voices of twentieth-century literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eG.
