Beskrivelse af Father And Son
Father and Son: Biographical Recollections is a memoir written by Edmund Gosse and published in 1907. The book is a poignant exploration of the relationship between a father and son, as well as a reflection on the author's own upbringing and the cultural and intellectual milieu of his time.The book is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on Gosse's childhood and his relationship with his father, a devoutly religious man who was a prominent member of the Plymouth Brethren, a strict and conservative Christian sect. Gosse describes his upbringing in detail, including the intense religious training he received from his father and the conflicts that arose between them as he began to question his faith and pursue his own intellectual interests.The second part of the book is a series of biographical sketches of prominent literary figures of the time, including John Donne, John Milton, and Thomas Browne. These sketches serve as a reflection on the cultural and intellectual context in which Gosse grew up and provide insight into his own literary and intellectual influences.Overall, Father and Son is a deeply personal and introspective work that explores the complexities of family relationships, the tensions between faith and reason, and the role of literature and culture in shaping our identities and worldviews. It remains a classic of English literature and a testament to the enduring power of the memoir form.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
