This remarkable collection of private correspondence between Emma
Darwin and members of her family, published in 1904, provides the
reader with a delightful and informative account of life in the
late nineteenth century, and 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 first of two volumes edited by her daughter Henrietta,
focuses on Emma's parents and relatives, up to 1839. Both volumes
are organised chronologically, and include delightful illustrations
from the family archives.
