  Widely considered as Chesterton's masterpiece, The Man Who Was Thursday (1908) defies classification. Subtitled A Nightmare by Chesterton, on one level it is a fast-moving and surreal detective story. This critical edition includes several short related pieces, A Picture of Tuesday , Introduction to the Book of Job , and The Diabolist , as well as a map of contemporary London and detailed explanatory notes.
