Full description for Father and Son
At birth, Edmund Gosse was dedicated to `the Service of the Lord`. His parents were Plymouth Brethren. After his mother`s death, Gosse was brought up in stifling isolation by his father, a marine biologist whose faith overcame his reason when confronted by Darwin`s theory of evolution. `Father and Son` is also the record of Gosse`s struggle to `fashion his inner life for himself` - a record of whose full and subversive implications the author was unaware, as Peter Abbs notes in his introduction. First published anonymously in 1907, `Father and Son` was immediately acclaimed for its courage in flouting the conventions of Victorian autobiography and is still a moving account of self-discovery.
