This study examines a selection of Chesterton s novels, poetry, and literary criticism and outlines the distinctive philosophy of history that emerges from these writings. Specifically, McCleary contends that Chesterton s recurring use of the themes of locality, patriotism, and nationalism embodies a distinctive understanding of what gives history its coherence.
