Father and Son: Biographical Recollections is a memoir written by Edmund Gosse and published in 1907. The book is a detailed account of the author’s relationship with his father, Philip Henry Gosse, a noted naturalist and religious fundamentalist. The memoir explores the complex and often strained relationship between the two men, who held vastly different beliefs and values. Edmund Gosse, who was raised in a strict religious household, struggled to reconcile his own intellectual and artistic pursuits with his father’s rigid beliefs. The book also provides a fascinating glimpse into Victorian society, as well as the scientific and religious debates of the time. Father and Son is widely regarded as a classic of English literature, and has been praised for its vivid and insightful portrayal of family dynamics and the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
