Abstract
Darwin has been the subject of many published biographies (e.g. Desmond & Moore, 1991; Browne, 1995, 2003) and, as a prolific correspondent (see Chapter 3), offers extensive personal material with which to build a biographical reading of his life, his science and the landscapes in which he developed his ideas.
