Recenzii
"One of the most distinguished of all modern biographies" Guardian "A monumental and absorbing biography" Scotsman "Her first book, Voyaging, was hailed as a magisterial introduction to Darwin's life, a work that vividly evoked period, character and ideas. The only question was: could she follow it up? It has taken seven years to get an answer: an emphatic yes" -- Robin McKie Observer "Browne's first volume was warmly received when it appeared seven years ago, and the second triumphantly fulfils its promise...[a] remarkable book" -- James Secord Daily Telegraph "A marvellous book... This second part of the life stands on its own. Soothing, unhurried and absorbing" -- Jane Ridley Spectator
Descriere
This concluding volume of Charles Darwin's biography looks closely at the wider publishing world of Victorian England and the different audiences which responded to Darwin's ideas. It considers the Darwinian revolution from his point of view and what it was like to become a scientific celebrity.
