{"product_id":"9781784874391","title":"Father and Son by Edmund Gosse","description":"The classic of memoir of inter-generational strife, with an afterword from author of The Essex Serpent, Sarah Perry and an introduction from Anthony Quinn. Subtitled `a study of two temperaments' Edmund Gosse's childhood memoir tells the often fractious, often comic story of Gosse's relationship with his authoritarian father. A pioneering naturalist and marine biologist, Philip Henry Gosse's strictly religious worldview is brought into crisis by the discoveries of Charles Darwin and the death of his wife - and Edmund's mother - Emily. As Edmund breaks away from his father's influence, the evolution from one epoch to the next is described in all of its struggle, humour and glory.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305282384245,"sku":"9781784874391","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781784874391.jpg?v=1762797266","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781784874391","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
