Born in London in 1874, he studied at the Slade School of Art and began to work as a freelance journalist after graduation. Over the course of his life, his literary output was incredibly diverse and highly prolific, ranging from philosophy and ontology to art criticism and detective fiction. However, he is probably best-remembered for his Christian apologetics, most notably in \u003ci\u003eOrthodoxy\u003c\/i\u003e (1908) and \u003ci\u003eThe Everlasting Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1925). \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRead \u0026amp; Co.
