Jane Brown Bücher

In 1858, Charles Darwin, a respected gentleman scientist at forty-nine, lived quietly at Down House, with his monumental manuscript on species still unfinished after two decades of research. His cautious nature delayed publication as he sought certainty in his groundbreaking theory of evolution. This biography's concluding volume begins with the events that compelled the "Origin of Species" into print, marking the onset of Darwin's fame and the ensuing controversies. As his ideas gained traction, they sparked intense public debate, drawing both criticism and support from notable figures like Thomas Henry Huxley and Joseph Hooker. Despite the pressures of newfound celebrity, Darwin remained devoted to his family, research, and the serene life he cherished. Janet Browne's account captures the complexities of the Darwinian revolution, detailing the Victorian publishing landscape and the fierce debates between scientists and religious figures. Through her sympathetic portrayal, we witness Darwin as a dedicated researcher grappling with his health while engaging with topics that intrigued him. Browne's mastery of scientific sources offers a nuanced view of Darwin as both a great thinker and a relatable human being, affirming the praise received for her previous volume.
