Welcome to Speaking About Chesterton. In this episode of our Series Chesterton around the world, Dr. Dermot Quinn and I will speak about Chesterton and Poland.
Chesterton visited Poland in 1927.
In 1976, almost half-a-century after the visit, Father Ian Boyd at his lecture at the Catholic University in Lublin remarks: “Chesterton’s admiration for Poland scarcely requires and explanation. Like Ireland, Poland possessed all the qualities Chesterton most valued: it was Catholic, it was agrarian, and it was small. In a sense, it was a living proof that the ideal state for which he longed could be an actual reality. An ideal which he believed had almost been realized in mediaeval times had been actually achieved in his own age.
