About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Superstition of Divorce by G. K. Chesterton, read by Ray Clare. This short book was written in 1920, and in it Chesterton, with his usual wit and incisive logic, presents a series of articles defending marriage and indicating the weaknesses in divorce. He did this 16 year before the first Christian denomination in the world allowed it's members to divorce. Till then Christendom was unanimous in standing against it. Chesterton saw clearly the trends of this time, and delivered this defense. (Summary by Ray Clare)
