Download or read book Father and Son written by Edmund Gosse and published by . This book was released on 2024-02-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Father and Son: A Study of Two Temperaments" is an autobiographical work by English author Edmund Gosse, first published in 1907. The book is a unique exploration of the complex relationship between Gosse and his father, Philip Henry Gosse, a renowned naturalist and marine biologist. The narrative is structured as a memoir and provides a deep and introspective look into the dynamics of the Gosse family. Edmund Gosse, who grew up in a strict, evangelical household, recounts his experiences of navigating the contrasting worlds of his father's religious fervor and his own emerging literary and intellectual interests. One of the central conflicts in the book revolves around the clash between science and religion. Philip Henry Gosse was a devout Christian who held strict religious beliefs, while his son Edmund was drawn to the world of literature, art, and secular thought. The tension between these two worldviews becomes a prominent theme in "Father and Son." Edmund Gosse's portrayal of his father is both affectionate and critical. The book delves into the challenges faced by a son who, while deeply respecting his father, must find his own path in a world that is rapidly changing. "Father and Son" is not only a personal narrative but also a cultural and historical document that reflects the intellectual and religious currents of the Victorian era. The book is celebrated for its candid exploration of the complexities of familial relationships, the struggle for individual identity, and the broader societal shifts occurring in the late 19th century. Edmund Gosse's skillful blending of personal and intellectual reflections makes "Father and Son" a compelling and influential work in the genre of autobiographical literature. It remains a classic for its exploration of the interplay between tradition and modernity, science and faith, and the bonds that tie generations together.
