Erasmus Darwin has often been cited as the most widely talented man
of the past 250 years. He excelled in medicine and poetry, was an
inventor and wide ranging man of science, and founded several
societies. This 2006 collection of 460 of his letters provides an
insight into the life of this amazing man. Darwin was famous
throughout Britain as a physician; his medical letters to patients
and private letters to his physician son Robert are a rich source
for historians of medicine. His lively letters to the 'Lunar Men',
Boulton, Watt, Keir and Wedgwood, provide insight into the
Industrial Revolution in England. In the 1790s Darwin propounded
the idea of biological evolution, although it was his grandson
Charles who persuaded people to take it seriously. This unique
collection reveals the variety of Erasmus Darwin's talents, and his
wide range of important friendships.
