When the Origins of Species was published on 24 November 1859, its
author, Charles Darwin, was near the end of a nine-week stay in the
remote Yorkshire village of Ilkley. He had come for the 'water
cure' - a regime of cold baths and wet sheets - and for relaxation.
But he used his time in Ilkley to shore up support, through
extensive correspondence, for the extraordinary theory that the
Origin would put before the world: evolution by natural selection.
In Darwin in Ilkley, Mike Dixon and Gregory Radick bring to life
Victorian Ilkley and the dramas of body and mind that marked
Darwin's visit.
