![]() This is by far Chestertons most well-known and famous novel. Drawing on contemporary fears of anarchist conspiracies and bomb outrages, this text is firmly rooted in its time and place-turn of the century London-but it also defies temporal boundaries. The Council consisting of seven men, each using the name of a day of the week as a code name Syme is given the name of Thursday. Widely considered as Chestertons masterpiece, The Man Who Was Thursday defies classification. Instead of the anarchist Gregory getting elected, the officer Syme uses his wits and is elected as the local representative to the worldwide Central Council of Anarchists. After some time, the frustrated Gregory finds Syme and leads him to a local anarchist meeting-place to prove that he is a true anarchist. Lucian Gregory, an anarchist poet, is the only poet in Saffron Park, until he loses his temper in an argument over the purpose of poetry with Gabriel Syme, who takes the opposite view. In a surreal turn-of-the-century London, Gabriel Syme, a poet, is recruited to a secret anti-anarchist task force at Scotland Yard.
