摘要

This is a volume in an ongoing series of "Quotable" individuals; Jefferson and Thoreau are amongst the subjects. The subjects must have had a broad range of interests and to have left a substantial literature. They also have to be widely influential. I have not found a statement from the publisher that states this, but this is the impression I get from this book and what I know of the other subjects. The selector in this case is Janet Browne, the author of a two-volume biography of Charles Darwin (Browne, 1995/2002). There are other biographies of Darwin; I have yet to read one of them, but this book has at least got him on my "ought to read" list. Darwin is a good subject for this sort of book, as his life included exploration and travel on the Beagle and many years of semi-seclusion at Downe House. He wrote many books and very many letters. I say semi-seclusion; he had a large family and many visitors. He also wrote an autobiography.
