This volume is part of the definitive edition of letters written by
and to Charles Darwin, the most celebrated naturalist of the
nineteenth century. Notes and appendixes put these fascinating and
wide-ranging letters in context, making the letters accessible to
both scholars and general readers. Darwin depended on
correspondence to collect data from all over the world, and to
discuss his emerging ideas with scientific colleagues, many of whom
he never met in person. The letters are published chronologically:
volume 24 includes letters from 1876, the year in which Darwin
published Cross and Self Fertilisation in the Vegetable Kingdom,
and started writing Forms of Flowers. In 1876, Darwin's
daughter-in-law, Amy, died shortly after giving birth to a son,
Bernard Darwin, an event that devastated the family. The volume
includes a supplement of 182 letters from earlier years, including
a newly discovered collection of letters from William Darwin,
Darwin's eldest son.
