De la extensa obra de Chesterton, lo m s difundido son, sobre todo, los cuentos detectivescos del Padre Brown y la novela metaf sico-policial El hombre que fue jueves. Lo m s importante, sin embargo, se encuentra en sus ensayos, que, en n mero superior a 4.000, public a lo largo de su vida en diversos peri dicos antes de recogerlos en libro. stos fueron los que, junto con sus libros de cr tica literaria y de apolog a cristiana, le ganaron la fama mundial que lo convirti en uno de los escritores m s influyentes de su tiempo. La acusaci n y la defensa, primera de estas recopilaciones, muestra ya, en sus deliciosas p ginas, toda la maestr a del autor. Siempre agudos y sorprendentes, desconcertantes y pol micos, estos ensayos abordan los temas m s inesperados a partir de una misma consigna inicial: defender lo indefendible, reivindicar lo que la m s extendida opini n considera inaceptable, como procedimiento para llegar a una verdad que pocos perciben. As , incitados por Chesterton, nos pondremos a apreciar las cualidades literarias de la literatura menos distinguida, a valorar la importancia de las sentimentales pastorcitas de porcelana, a extasiarnos con los rboles sin hojas y los esqueletos, a honrar con el mayor respeto las decisiones m s alocadas, a celebrar la trascendencia po tica del lenguaje callejero, a encontrar en la fealdad una forma m s alta de la belleza y hasta (colmo del absurdo) a volvernos orgullosos patriotas. Paradojas? S , pero la paradoja, en manos de Chesterton, es la llave que nos abre la puerta para escapar de los caminos trillados y entregarnos a las aventuras que nos regala su inteligencia superior.

This ballad needs no historical notes, for the simple reason that it does not profess to be historical. All of it that is not frankly fictitious, as in any prose romance about the past, is meant to emphasize tradition rather than history. King Alfred is not a legend in the sense that King Arthur may be a legend; that is, in the sense that he may possibly be a lie. But King Alfred is a legend in this broader and more human sense, that the legends are the most important things about him. The cult of Alfred was a popular cult, from the darkness of the ninth century to the deepening twilight of the twentieth. It is wholly as a popular legend that I deal with him here. I write as one ignorant of everything, except that I have found the legend of a King of Wessex still alive in the land. I will give three curt cases of what I mean. A tradition connects the ultimate victory of Alfred with the valley in Berkshire called the Vale of the White Horse. I have seen doubts of the tradition, which may be valid doubts. I do not know when or where the story started; it is enough that it started somewhere and ended with me; for I only seek to write upon a hearsay, as the old balladists did.
