{"product_id":"9780141958743","title":"Father and Son","description":"At birth Edmund Gosse was dedicated to 'the Service of the Lord'. His parents were Plymouth Brethren. After his mother's death Gosse was brought up in stifling isolation by his father, a marine biologist whose faith overcame his reason when confronted by Darwin's theory of evolution. \u003ci\u003eFather and Son\u003c\/i\u003e is also the record of Gosse's struggle to 'fashion his inner life for himself' - a record of whose full and subversive implications the author was unaware, as Peter Abbs notes in his Introduction. First published anonymously in 1907, \u003ci\u003eFather and Son\u003c\/i\u003e was immediately acclaimed for its courage in flouting the conventions of Victorian autobiography and is still a moving account of self-discovery.","brand":"Penguin Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072382714096,"sku":"9780141958743","price":12.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141958743_p0.jpg?v=1763655958","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141958743","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
