Twelve Types

G. K. Chesterton

Twelve brief critical portraits of writers and figures, among them Charlotte Brontë, William Morris, Byron, Pope, St. Francis, Rostand, Stevenson, Carlyle, Tolstoy, Savonarola and Scott, each a start toward the exuberant criticism of his later biographies. Later enlarged as Varied Types.
