About the Authors

  • Volume 13 contains letters for 1865, the year Charles Darwin published his long paper on climbing plants and continued work on his book, The Variation of Plants and Animals under Domestication. 1865 was also the year when Robert FitzRoy committed suicide; Joseph Dalton Hooker became director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; and Charles Lyell and John Lubbock quarrelled over an alleged incident of plagiarism. The volume includes a supplement of over 100 letters discovered or redated since the series began publication, including a fascinating collection written when Darwin was 12.

    • Covers the period when Darwin published his long paper on climbing plants and continued working on his book, The Variation of Plants and Animals under Domestication

    "The talented editorial staff, which continues to transform this correspondence into one of the greatest in the history modern letters, deserves credit for a comprehensive and readable introduction, fine-grained footnoting, and the useful bibliography, appendixes, and index."
