Summary
The concluding volume of Janet Browne's magisterial biography of Darwin. Beginning with the extraordinary events that finally forced the "Origin of Species" into print, we come to the years of fame and controversy. Here, Browne does dramatic justice to all… aspects of the Darwinian revolution, from a fascinating examination of the Victorian publishing scene to a survey of the debates between scientists and churchmen over evolutionary theory. At the same time, she presents a wonderfully sympathetic and authoritative picture of Darwin himself. Sequel to "Charles Darwin: Voyaging". 2003.
