Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
Synopsis
Edmund Gosse wrote of his account of his life, |This book is the record of a struggle between two temperaments, two consciences and almost two epochs.| Father and Son remains one of English literature's seminal autobiographies. In it, Edmund Gosse recounts, with humor and pathos, his childhood as a member of a Victorian Protestant sect and his struggles to forge his own identity despite the loving control of his father. His work is a key document of the crisis of faith and doubt and a penetrating exploration of the impact of evolutionary science. An astute, well-observed, and moving portrait of the tensions of family life, Father and Son remains a classic of twentieth-century literature.
