The Autobiography of Charles Darwin, 1809-1882

Edited by Nora Barlow

When The Autobiography of Charles Darwin first appeared in a complete edition in 1959, one hundred years after Origin of Species, Loren Eisley wrote, “No man can pretend to know Darwin who does not know his autobiography. Here, for the first time since his death, it is presented complete and unexpurgated, as it exists in the family archives. It casts new light on the personality of one of the world’s greatest scientists. Nora Barlow, Darwin’s granddaughter, has proved herself a superb editor. Her own annotations make fascinating reading.”
