I was pleased with the inclusion of Chesterton but a little surprised. You know I love the Jolly Knight but I question how influential he's been. It seems his adversaries George Bernard Shaw (who he always bested in public debates) and HG Wells managed to carry the day. Belloc's response to Wells' "Outline of History" was never satisfactorily responded to but Shaw and Wells are remembered and Chesterton and Belloc are not, except for a happy few.
