Produktbeschreibung
"Father and Son" is an ancient memoir story book written by Edmund Gosse. Father and Son (1907), initially subtitled "A Study of Two Temperaments," is a memoir with the aid of poet and critic Edmund Gosse, first posted anonymously. Gosse had already posted a biography of his father in 1890. Edmund Gosse's early years were spent in a really non secular Plymouth Brethren environment, as defined in Father and Son. Emily Gosse, his mom, died of breast cancer on the age of 50. She turned into a Christian tract writer. Philip Henry Gosse, Edmund's father, changed into an influential and particularly self-taught invertebrate zoologist and marine biology scholar who moved to Devon after his spouse died. The novel focuses on the interaction between the stern religious father, who rejected his scientific colleague Charles Darwin's new evolutionary theories, and his son's innovative rejection of Christian fundamentalism. Gosse utilized pseudonyms for the duration of the book, but a number of the people represented have been diagnosed. Following its preliminary book, Gosse made fifty revisions to Father and Son's textual content, the maximum of which had been minor but a number of which addressed authentic inaccuracies. A bibliographical assessment of the book's variants and impressions (there are sixty- in total) includes information on translations into Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese (partial), Spanish, and Swedish.
Autorenporträt
Edmund Gosse (1849-1928) was a British writer, literary critic, and poet. He was born in London to a well-known family; his father was the naturalist Philip Henry Gosse. Despite his father's strict religious beliefs, Gosse pursued a literary career, studying at Trinity College, Cambridge and eventually becoming a literary critic for the magazine The Spectator. Gosse's literary output was prolific, including poetry, fiction, and criticism. He was a prominent figure in the literary scene of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his work was highly regarded for its insight and erudition. His most famous work, "Father and Son" (1907), was a memoir about his relationship with his father and the conflict between his own artistic aspirations and his father's religious beliefs. In addition to his writing, Gosse was also a noted scholar and biographer. He wrote several biographies of prominent literary figures, including Ibsen, Swinburne, and Thomas Gray. Gosse was a respected member of the literary establishment, serving as the librarian of the House of Lords and as a lecturer at Trinity College. He was also a member of the Order of Merit, one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a British citizen. Edmund Gosse's legacy lives on as a celebrated writer and critic, whose work continues to be studied and appreciated by literary scholars and readers alike.
