The Pickering Masters Darwin makes it possible for the fist time to review Darwin's public literary output as a whole. Darwin's works are now presented in their definitive texts, typeset, printed and bound to modern standards. It is important to see Darwin's literary output as a whole to understand fully both his influence on the religious, philosophical and scientific upheavals of the 19th century, and the development of the theory of evolution which forms a continuous thread running through his work from first to last. Texts have been selected by Professor Barrett and Richard Freeman and where more than one edition of a work exists, the editors have chosen the edition which reflects Darwin's ideas most fully.
Industry Reviews
Are they needed? To be sure. The Darwin industry has scandalously failed to provide texts of more than a handful of Darwin's books. If you want to know what Darwin said about his grandfather or what he wrote about barnacles (still an essential reference to cirripedists, apart from any historical importance) you are forced to search shelves, or wait until someone else does it for you. Many titles have not been in print for a century.'- Eric Korn, The Times Literary Supplement'Having the whole output of a single author as a complete set arranged in chronological order is a resource of incalculable value...The illustrations are magnificent...the publishers must be congratulated on the high quality of these reproductions.'- P J James, Archives of Natural History
