Book excerpt: Today, Philip Henry Gosse is remembered, if at all, as the patriarch and tyrannical religious maniac in his son Edmund's memoir, Father and Son. This is a vivid reassessment of the life of Philip Henry Gosse, the renowned Victorian naturalist, author, illustrator and Christian fundamentalist, who as both friend and antagonist of Charles Darwin, was at the very heart of the Victorian conflict between science and religion. Thwaite shows that Gosse believed that "the gratification of scientific curiosity is worse than useless if we ignore God."--Publisher.

Book Synopsis Philip Henry Gosse by : Gary Richard Mullen
Download or read book Philip Henry Gosse written by Gary Richard Mullen and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Henry Gosse's detailed watercolors of Alabama's native insects and plants represent a landmark in the annals of American natural history. Offered for the first time are the complete full-color illustrations from Gosse's Entomologia Alabamensis, along with a biographical essay placing Gosse's work in the context of his long and fruitful life. Born in 1810 in Worcester, England, the young Philip Henry Gosse developed a passion for the natural world. Having learned the basics of miniature portraiture from his father, Gosse quickly took for his artistic subjects the flourishing marine life he discovered along the English coast. In May, 1838, Gosse took a teaching job in Dallas County, Alabama. For the next eight months he collected the insect specimens that he would preserve in the beautifully detailed watercolors of Entomologia Alabamensis. In addition, he composed a highly personalized chronology of his life in a frontier culture, published eventually as Letters from Alabama. Following his return to England, Gosse went on to publish more than 40 books, producing some of the 19th century's finest illustrations of insects and marine organisms. Today, he is remembered as a popular writer of science for the general public and as a passionate artist whose work in Alabama and elsewhere captured and revealed the beauty and vitality of the natural world. Copublication with the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art and Auburn University Libraries.

Book excerpt: "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.

ON Midsummer Day, 1835, Philip Gosse took a final farewell of the little town which had been his home for eight years, and set off, full of sanguine anticipations, for a new life of liberty and enterprise. He walked from Carbonear to Harbour Grace, where the Camilla was lying, and went on board of her to sleep that night, to be joined next morning by Mr. and Mrs. Jaques. In the course of this, his last walk in Newfoundland, he saw in flight what all those years he had been looking for in vain--a specimen of the large yellow swallow-tail butterfly. He gave chase to it at once, and, after a long run, succeeded in capturing it easily with his hat, for it was very fearless. In the evening a boy brought out to the vessel for him a large cockroach, of a kind not native to North America, which he had picked up in the streets, dropped perhaps out of some cargo of sugar. This quaint species of tribute was his last gift from Newfoundland, a country in which he was destined never to set foot again. He took on board a variety of chrysalides, caterpillars, and eggs, the premature transformation of some of which gave him a great deal of anxiety. How completely he was absorbed in his duties as the nurse of these insects may be amusingly gathered from his diary, in which, for instance, in turning for some information regarding that important day on which he landed in the new country of his adoption, I find these words and no others: --"July 15.--As I this day arrived at Quebec, I pro"cured some lettuce for my caterpillars, which they ate "greedily." The voyage from Harbour Grace to Quebec, a comparatively short distance on the map, proved an intolerably tedious one, from lack of wind. In the St. Lawrence the strong ebb tide...
