Father and son: a study of two temperaments
by Edmund Gosse
Category: Biography & Autobiography

One of English literature's seminal autobiographies, Father and Son recounts Gosse's childhood as a member of a Victorian Protestant sect and his struggles to forge his own identity despite the loving control of his father. A key document of the crisis of faith and a penetrating exploration of the impact of evolutionary science, Father and Son is here printed with extracts from Philip Gosse's Omphalos.
