Publisher's Synopsis

The Life of Philip Henry Gosse is a biographical work written by Edmund Gosse and published in 1890. The book chronicles the life of Philip Henry Gosse, a naturalist and author who lived in the 19th century. Gosse's life was marked by his deep religious faith and his passion for science, which often put him at odds with the prevailing views of his time. The book explores Gosse's upbringing in a strict religious household, his early career as a naturalist, and his eventual move to Canada, where he continued his scientific work. Throughout the book, Gosse's personal and professional struggles are examined, as well as his lasting impact on the fields of natural history and theology. The Life of Philip Henry Gosse is a fascinating look at the life of a complex and influential figure in the history of science and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
