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 27 includes letters from 1879, the year in which Darwin
completed his manuscript on movement in plants. He also researched
and published a biography of his grandfather Erasmus. The Darwins
spent most of August on holiday in the Lake District. In October,
Darwin's youngest son, Horace, became officially engaged to Ida
Farrer, after some initial resistance from her father, who,
although an admirer of Charles Darwin, thought Horace a poor
prospect for his daughter.
