What’s Wrong: GKC in Periodicals

This page is an ongoing effort to collect and transcribe articles, reviews, letters, poems and stories by G. K. Chesterton published in periodicals, newspapers, magazines etc.

It is presented as a list of periodicals with links to separate Google documents for the articles themselves. After each periodical title, when applicable, I add the number in Sullivan’s bibliographies and miscellaneous comments on the publication. Then there are the texts with links, arranged chronologically. The texts have a brief introduction giving bibliographical details, then a transcription of the full article as accurate as I can make it, and in a very few cases I add notes. These may grow as the work progresses, but for the moment I’m concentrating on transcriptions.

I’m including reprints (e.g., all of The Living Age are reprinted from previous publications, and American pieces are usually taken from a corresponding British periodical), but reducing all versions to a single file where I transcribe the first version and then give the changes between the different versions in an appendix. (Differences in spelling, punctuation and capitalization are generally omitted unless they are significant.) Thus I generally use the UK version, and add a note when this is not the case. A similar appendix describes changes made to pieces collected in book form (The Defendant, etc.) which in some cases differ considerably.

I’m also including letters in reply to GKC’s reviews or articles, for the sake of completeness, and also because sometimes GKC replied in turn so that the full correspondence is needed to make the exchange intelligible. In a few cases (e.g. Everyman) I include other pieces for the same reason.

Reprinted pieces are marked “(†)” before the title. Articles by other people are marked “(*)”. Unsigned items of doubtful attribution are marked “(?)”.

Necessarily, articles from the pre-1925 era are currently easier to find in the main public-domain book servers like Google or archive.org, and they are better represented here; hunting down later pieces is tricky. I’m concentrating on the easier part of the job at present.

Illustrated London News, Daily News: These two already have excellent modern editions which it would be difficult to improve on; nevertheless, I’m including them and will be completing them slowly. For the moment, the Daily News has only a few articles not included in Stapleton.

The New Witness and G. K.’s Weekly: Leaving these out for the moment.

Finally: I’ve started a blog where I will be posting additions, news, changes and miscellaneous comments on these files. Any comments, corrections or suggestions can be directed there.

[Note: G. K. C.’s column Our Note Book (here “ONB”) generally had no other title. The titles between square brackets here are those used in Collected Works XXVII-XXXVII. The US edition of the ILN generally appeared two weeks after the UK edition. The CW series used American editions up to February 1, 1913, and then switched to British editions; this is why in vol. XXIX there are two articles dated “Jan. 25” and two dated “Feb. 1” for that year. Here we use UK dates only.]

[Note: GKC contributed a series of 12 articles between January 1920 and January 1921 under the general title “The Next/New Renascence: Thoughts on the Structure of the Future.” The series is complete but there is some confusion in the titles: the first article gives the general title “The Next Renascence”, while the rest have “New”; the fifth article (“The Library Broken Loose,” May 1920) is wrongly numbered “IV”; the seventh, eighth and ninth articles omit the number; the seventh and eighth articles move the general title to the subtitle; and the ninth uses a different subtitle altogether.]
