The life of Edmund Gosse was one of continuous contradiction. He was a precocious only child brought up by a father whose thinking was dominated by the Bible and the Actinologica Britannica. This book presents a picture of Edmund Gosse without ignoring his many contradictions, showing how they reflect the complexity of his singular genius.
Ann Thwaite was born of New Zealand parents in 1929. She was educated at St Hilda's College Oxford and has been a writer, biographer and reviewer all her life. She lives with her husband, the poet Anthony Thwaite, in Norfolk.
