To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In a sense Chesterton pays the atheist a very high compliment. He does what the atheist is generally too lazy to do for him- self ; he takes his substitute for religion and systematizes it into something like a philosophy. Then he examines it as a whole. And he finds that atheism is dogma in its extremist form, that it embodies a multitude of superstitions, and that it is actually continually adding to their number. Such are the reasons of the greatness of Magic. The play, one feels, must remai...n unique, for the prolegomenon cannot be rewritten while the philosophy is unchanged. And Chesterton has deliberately chosen the word orthodox to apply to himself, and he has not limited its meaning. 75 IV THE CRITIC OF LARGE THINGS The heroes of Chesterton's romances have an adipose diathesis, as a reviewer has been heard to remark. In plain English they tend towards largeness. Flambeau, Sunday, and Innocent Smith are big men. Chesterton, as we have seen, pays little attention to his women char- acters, but whenever it comes to pass that he must introduce a heroine, he colours her as emphatically as the nature of things wiU admit.
