About This Book

A life-and-letters portrait assembled by his wife traces his upbringing in a cultured household, continental travel, informal education, and early passions for music and natural history, follows his scientific career and move between London and Oxford, and prints extensive correspondence that illuminates his scientific, philosophical, and theological reflections. The narrative balances personal recollections of character—gentleness, unselfishness, intellectual zeal—and accounts of professional friendships and debates, while candidly recording periods of mental perplexity and religious struggle. Chapters are organized roughly by life phases and include letters and contemporary testimony to present both private life and public work.
