A key document of the crisis of faithand doubt; a penetrating exploration of the impact of evolutionary science; an astute, well-observed, and moving portrait of the tensions of family life: Father and Son remains a classic of twentieth-century literature. As well as anilluminating introduction, this edition also provides a series of fascinatingappendices including extracts from Philip Gosse's Omphalos and his harrowing account of his wife's death from breast cancer.
