Description
Edmund Gosse's childhood memoir tells the story of his complex relationship with his father. A study of two temperaments, the book explores how Philip Henry Gosse's strict religious world view clashed with the discoveries of Charles Darwin, leading to a crisis that affected Edmund's life. As the younger Edmund struggled to break away from his father's influence, he began to discover himself. This memoir is a candid and often comic account of their relationship, offering insight into the challenges of growing up under parental pressure. With an introduction by Anthony Quinn and an afterword by Sarah Perry, this book provides a unique perspective on the author's formative years and the enduring impact of his father's legacy.
