About this title: Charles Darwin's Autobiography was first published in 1887, five years after his death. It was a bowdlerized edition: Darwin's family, attempting to protect his posthumous reputation, had deleted all the passages they considered too personal or controversial.

"About 125 pp long, w/ another 125 pp worth of additional material (do we really need 40 pp on the Darwin/Butler controversy?). It is the 250th anniversary of his birth and the 200th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of the Species. Time better spent reading Voyage of the Beagle or the Appleman/Norton Darwin (which has little Darwin in it, but over 200 yrs worth of essays about him and evolution). 30 yrs ago while working on an MA in English I became somewhat of an expert on Victorian autobiography - that is about the on;ly reason to read this semi-interesting work."
"I was hoping for more insights into his life and thoughts, but this autobiography had more to do about his writing and publications. I did enjoy learning that he loved shooting and would practice his shooting techniques rather than do his homework."
"So brief, but so fascinating. It's great to read of Darwin's life in his own words. At times sad, and at others, quite funny! Highly recommended, if only for Darwin's description of how mad he was about beetles."
"Darwin's personal life interests me significantly, but I do not count this work of essential reading. Certainly I like to read and know these things, but only for more accute understanding of the context in which Darwin developed his deepest beliefs."
