Ethel Romanes tells the life of her husband, the physiologist and evolutionist who became Charles Darwin’s close younger friend and wrote on animal intelligence. Letters trace his boyhood, Cambridge, the London years of research and controversy, summers at Geanies in Ross-shire, his move to Oxford, his poetry and his struggle between scepticism and Christian faith.
An intimate record of Victorian science after Darwin, and of a scientist’s search for belief. Download the free EPUB.
