Announcing our September 17, 2023 meeting and reading! Join the Society on September 17th at 6:00 PM at Ivy Hall to discuss Chesterton on Chaucer!
Chesterton's book on Chaucer can be purchased in the Collected Works Volume 18 or separately online (just Google search). A useful introduction by Dale Ahlquist can be found here. As Dale writes, "Chesterton’s book on Chaucer is a lesson in history, theology, literature and art. It also a tribute from one great humorist to another. When Chesterton writes about writing, he is exquisite." RSVP for this meeting below the jump. Click here (on on the calendar image) to add this event to your calendar!
