Also included are over 100 letters discovered or redated since the series began publication, including some written when Darwin was 12.

This volume of the definitive edition of Charles Darwin's letters provides texts of more than 650 letters Darwin wrote and received in 1879. Darwin researched and published a biography of his grandfather Erasmus Darwin, and continued working on On the Power of Movement in Plants.

This volume of the definitive edition of Charles Darwin's letters provides texts of more than 580 letters Darwin wrote and received in 1878. Darwin and his son Francis carried out experiments on plant movement that were published in 1880, and Francis spent the summer at a botanical institute in Germany.

This volume is part of the definitive edition of letters written by and to Charles Darwin, the most celebrated naturalist of the nineteenth century. Notes and appendixes put these fascinating and wide-ranging letters in context, making the letters accessible to both scholars and general readers. Darwin depended on correspondence to collect data from all over the world, and to discuss his emerging ideas with scientific colleagues, many of whom he never met in person. The letters are published chronologically: Volume 21 includes letters from 1873, the year in which Darwin received responses to his work on human and animal expression. Also in this year, Darwin continued his work on carnivorous plants and plant movement, finding unexpected similarities between the plant and animal kingdoms, raised a subscription for his friend Thomas Henry Huxley, and decided to employ a scientific secretary for the first time - his son Francis.

During 1867 Darwin intensified lines of research that were to result in two important publications, Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex and Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. This research resulted in letters from an even more diverse and far-flung network of correspondents.

This pivotal volume of Charles Darwin's letters will for the first time provide researchers and general readers with the full text of more than 800 letters written and received by Darwin in 1871, the year he made his long-awaited public statement on human evolution in Descent of Man.

This volume, like others in the series, is an important resource for historians of science, social historians, and the general reader. It covers the lead-up to the publication of one of the most important scientific publications of its time, Descent of Man, and reveals a cross-section of Victorian life.

The letters are published chronologically: volume 22 includes letters from 1874, the year in which Darwin completed his research on insectivorous plants and published second editions of Descent of Man and Coral Reefs. The year also saw an acrimonious dispute between Darwin and St George Jackson Mivart as a result of an anonymous review the latter had written in which he criticised Darwin's son George.

Throughout 1869, Darwin continued to collect data for his two most significant books after Origin: The Descent of Man and Expression of the Emotions. Explorers, diplomats, and missionaries all over the world were politely encouraged to investigate, for example, how emotions were expressed in different cultures.

Volume 14 contains letters for 1866, a year marked by the deaths of two of Darwin's sisters, when Darwin submitted the manuscript of Variation under Domestication to his publisher, and began thinking about a work dealing specifically with the controversial subject of human evolution.

This volume is dominated by the response to the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species. The volume presents a wealth of detailed information, revealing how the Victorians coped with a theory that would revolutionise thinking about the organic world and human ancestry.

The letters in this volume cover two of the most momentous years in Darwin's life. They detail the various stages in the preparation of what was to become one of the world's most famous works: Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, published by John Murray in November 1859.

The correspondence in this volume reveals the two sides of Darwin's life in a new intensity. It opens with a family tragedy in the death of Darwin's oldest and best loved daughter, Anne, and goes on to show how Darwin sought relief from his loss through work.
