Father and Son A study of two temperaments

Gosse, Edmund

Omschrijving

Father and Son is an ancient memoir story book written by Edmund Gosse. Father and Son (1907), initially subtitled A Study of Two Temperaments, is a memoir with the aid of poet and critic Edmund Gosse, first posted anonymously. Gosse had already posted a biography of his father in 1890. Edmund Gosse's early years were spent in a really non secular Plymouth Brethren environment, as defined in Father and Son. Emily Gosse, his mom, died of breast cancer on the age of 50. She turned into a Christian tract writer. Philip Henry Gosse, Edmund's father, changed into an influential and particularly self-taught invertebrate zoologist and marine biology scholar who moved to Devon after his spouse died. The novel focuses on the interaction between the stern religious father, who rejected his scientific colleague Charles Darwin's new evolutionary theories, and his son's innovative rejection of Christian fundamentalism. Gosse utilized pseudonyms for the duration of the book, but a number of the people represented have been diagnosed. Following its preliminary book, Gosse made fifty revisions to Father and Son's textual content, the maximum of which had been minor but a number of which addressed authentic inaccuracies. A bibliographical assessment of the book's variants and impressions (there are sixty- in total) includes information on translations into Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese (partial), Spanish, and Swedish.
