Father and Son - Edmund Gosse

Father and Son is a memoir by poet Edmund Gosse, which he subtitled «a study of two temperaments.» The book describes Edmund's early years in a Plymouth Brethren home. His father, Philip Henry Gosse, was an influential, though largely self-taught, invertebrate zoologist and student of marine biology who, after his wife's death, took Edmund to live in Devon.
