Description
Father and Son is a deeply personal and thought-provoking autobiography that explores the complexities of family life and the struggle to forge one's own identity. Edmund Gosse recounts his childhood as a member of a Victorian Protestant sect, where he grappled with the loving control of his father and the emerging forces of evolutionary science. This book provides a poignant and moving portrait of the tensions within a family, as well as a fascinating insight into the crisis of faith and doubt that defined an era. The author's humour and pathos shine through on every page, making this a compelling read for anyone interested in the human experience. A unique and illuminating addition to any library, Father and Son features a series of appendices that add further depth and context to the narrative.
