For the first time full authoritative texts of Darwin's letters are available, edited according to modern textual editorial principles and practice. The letters in this volume were written during the seven years following Darwin's return to England from the Beagle voyage. It was a period of extraordinary activity and productivity in which he became recognised as a naturalist of outstanding ability, as an author and editor, and as a professional man with official responsibilities in several scientific organisations. During these years he published two books and fifteen papers and also organised and superintended the publication of the Zoology of the Voyage of HMS Beagle, for which he described the locations of the fossils and the habitats and behaviour of the living species he had collected. Busy as he was with scientific activities, Darwin found time to re-establish family ties and friendships, and to make new friends among the naturalists with whom his work brought him into close contact. In November 1838, two years after his return Darwin became engaged to his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, whom he subsequently married.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of illustrations\u003cbr\u003e List of letters\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e List of provenances\u003cbr\u003e Note on editorial policy\u003cbr\u003e Darwin\/Wedgwood genealogy\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations and symbols\u003cbr\u003e The correspondence, 1837–43\u003cbr\u003e Appendixes\u003cbr\u003e Manuscript alterations and comments\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Biography\u003cbr\u003e Biographical register and index to correspondents\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Evolution [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Evolution\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Evolution%20%5BPSAJ%5D%22\"\u003ePSAJ\u003c\/a\u003e], History of science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20science%20%5BPDX%5D%22\"\u003ePDX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45978366312728,"sku":"9780521255882","price":98.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521255882i_53d67c0f-ee29-4a17-86b9-d1c9fbb3f5fc.jpg?v=1691374110","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-correspondence-of-charles-darwin-volume-2-1837-1843-hardback-9780521255882","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
