"Father and Son" is an ancient memoir story book written by Edmund Gosse. Father and Son (1907), initially subtitled "A Study of Two Temperaments," is a memoir with the aid of poet and critic Edmund Gosse, first posted anonymously. Gosse had already posted a biography of his father in 1890. Edmund Gosse's early years were spent in a really non secular Plymouth Brethren environment, as defined in Father and Son. Emily Gosse, his mom, died of breast cancer on the age of 50. She turned into a Christian tract writer. Philip Henry Gosse, Edmund's father, changed into an influential and particularly self-taught invertebrate zoologist and marine biology scholar who moved to Devon after his spouse died. The novel focuses on the interaction between the stern religious father, who rejected his scientific colleague Charles Darwin's new evolutionary theories, and his son's innovative rejection of Christian fundamentalism. Gosse utilized pseudonyms for the duration of the book, but a number of the people represented have been diagnosed. Following its preliminary book, Gosse made fifty revisions to Father and Son's textual content, the maximum of which had been minor but a number of which addressed authentic inaccuracies. A bibliographical assessment of the book's variants and impressions (there are sixty- in total) includes information on translations into Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese (partial), Spanish, and Swedish.

"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.

But, as I have said, it was a period of great enthusiasm about all such summaries of knowledge, and Paris was thirsting for grammars, lexicons, inventories of language and the like. The Academy insisted that the world must wait for the approach of their vast and lumbering machine; but meanwhile public curiosity was impatient, and all sorts of brief and imperfect dictionaries were issued to satisfy it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

AT the present hour, when fiction takes forms so ingenious and so specious, it is perhaps necessary to say that the following narrative, in all its parts, and so far as the punctilious attention of the writer has been able to keep it so, is scrupulously true. If it were not true, in this strict sense, to publish it would be to trifle with all those who may be induced to read it. It is offered to them as a document, as a record of educational and religious conditions which, having passed away, will never return. In this respect, as the diagnosis of a dying Puritanism, it is hoped that the narrative will not be altogether without significance. It offers, too, in a subsidiary sense, a study of the development of moral and intellectual ideas during the progress of infancy. These have been closely and conscientiously noted, and may have some value in consequence of the unusual conditions in which they were produced. The author has observed that those who have written about the facts of their own childhood have usually delayed to note them down until age has dimmed their recollections. Perhaps an even more common fault in such autobiographies is that they are sentimental, and are falsified by self-admiration and self-pity. The writer of these recollections has thought that if the examination of his earliest years was to be undertaken at all, it should be attempted while his memory is still perfectly vivid and while he is still unbiased by the forgetfulness or the sensibility of advancing years. At one point only has there been any tampering with precise fact. It is believed that, with the exception of the Son, there is but one person mentioned in this book who is still alive. Nevertheless, it has been thought well, in order to avoid any appearance of offence, to alter the majority of the proper names of the private persons spoken of. It is not usual, perhaps, that the narrative of a spiritual struggle should mingle merriment and humour with a discussion of the most solemn subjects. It has, however, been inevitable that they should be so mingled in this narrative. It is true that most funny books try to be funny throughout, while theology is scandalized if it awakens a single smile. But life is not constituted thus, and this book is nothing if it is not a genuine slice of life. There was an extraordinary mixture of comedy and tragedy in the situation which is here described, and those who are affected by the pathos of it will not need to have it explained to them that the comedy was superficial and the tragedy essential.
