Grant Allen: A Memoir is a biographical work written by Edward Clodd in 1900, which provides a comprehensive account of the life and achievements of the British-Canadian author, naturalist, and social reformer Grant Allen. The book explores Allen’s early life in Kingston, Canada, his education at Oxford University, and his subsequent career as a journalist, novelist, and scientific writer. Clodd delves into Allen’s literary works, including his most famous novel, The Woman Who Did, and his contributions to the fields of evolutionary biology and anthropology. The memoir also touches on Allen’s personal life, including his marriage to the feminist writer Ellen J. Allen and his involvement in various social causes, such as women’s suffrage and vegetarianism. Throughout the book, Clodd offers insights into Allen’s character, describing him as a man of strong convictions, wit, and intelligence, who was committed to promoting progressive ideas and challenging conventional wisdom. The memoir is a testament to Allen’s legacy, celebrating his contributions to literature, science, and social reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
