The Collected Works of G. K. Chesterton: Christendon in Dublin, Irish Impressions, the New Jerusalem, a Short History of England, the Patriotic Idea, Explaining the English, London, What Are (Collected Works, Volume 20)

Edited by Fr. James V. Schall, S.J.

This next volume in Chesterton's series of collected works contains four of his books and four shorter "English" essays. Three of the books are accounts of his travels, two to Ireland and one to Palestine via Egypt. The fourth book is Chesteron's own effort to explain English history to Englishmen as well as to other interested parties, particularly the Irish. All of these books date from about 1920, except Christendom in Ireland, which concerns the 1932 Dublin Eucharistic Congress, which Chesterton attended.
