This remarkable collection of private correspondence between Emma
Darwin and members of her family, published in 1904, provides the
reader with an enjoyable and informative account of prosperous
middle-class life in the Victorian period, as well as a picture of
an amusing, educated, and caring woman. Emma Darwin (1808 1896) was
especially remembered for her patience and fortitude in dealing
with her husband's long term illness, which became apparent shortly
after their marriage. In nursing and humouring Charles through his
many ups and downs, she was a crucial factor in her husband's
scientific accomplishments. She was responsible for bringing up
their large family, running their household, and hosting visits
from relatives and scientists. This, the second of two volumes
edited by her daughter Henrietta, covers the period from 1839 until
Emma's death in 1896. The letters are organised chronologically,
and the book includes delightful illustrations from the family
archives.
