{"product_id":"9781916809253","title":"Fancies Versus Fads by G.K. Chesterton","description":"In the essays collected in Fancies versus Fads, G. K. Chesterton positions himself as an assailant of \"the nonsense of the world\": a sworn enemy of fashionable doctrines and the excesses into which they lead their adherents. While sometimes dismissed as a fogeyish reactionary-an image to which he at times gleefully plays up-Chesterton emerges from these essays as a witty and perceptive critic possessed of a profound generosity of spirit. Ranging in its preoccupations from psychoanalysis and the temperance movement to child-rearing and free verse, Fancies versus Fads is a brilliant introduction to one of the most distinctive voices of twentieth-century literature.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309431271797,"sku":"9781916809253","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781916809253","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
