G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English writer and critic whose friends included many of the great luminaries of his time. A devout Christian, his views clashed with many of their philosophies. His book “Heresies” is a (humorous and polite) critique of errors he perceived in their values and reasoning. In this picture, I present five of Chesterton’s favorite heretics. At the far left, George Bernard Shaw enjoys a pipe and tea while scribbling notes for a new production. Next there’s Rudyard Kipling, apparently indifferent to the bi-colored python rock snake from his “Just-So Stories.” In the center, James McNeill Whistler displays his aesthetic finery and prepares to down an absinthe. Behind him, the magnificent Oscar Wilde adores a lily while posing in a picturesque medieval manner. Finally (at right) H. G. Wells appears in a Martian tripod, complete with heat ray.
