	Philip Henry Gosse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gosse was a brilliant student of Newfoundland entomology and a shrewd observer of society in the Carbonear area.
		Gosse's theory was unsatisfactory to both sides of the debate, and his book was savaged by critics on both ends of the spectrum.
		Gosse was crushed by the harsh reception of his philosophical book, and committed much of the remainder of his days to religious devotion, and crime and murder stories, though his script for Actinologia was published 1858-60.

	No. 1864: Philip and Edmund Gosse
		Edmund Gosse grew up to become a great British writer and, in 1907, he published (anonymously) a book with the title, Father and Son.
		Edmund describes how, in 1857, Philip Gosse grappled with the growing implications of the geologic record.
		When twenty-year-old Edmund made a trip home and was met with the usual spiritual interrogation, he reacted in anger, rupturing what'd been a close relationship.

	The New Yorker: PRINTABLES
		Gosse was among the first to write an appreciation in English of André Gide, he worked hard to try to secure the Nobel Prize for James, and his biographies of Ibsen and Donne gave important recognition to a playwright who was considered too radical and a poet then known only for his sermons.
		Edmund Gosse and his biographers all tell the story that when he was born his father noted in his diary, “E. delivered of a son.
		Edmund wondered if his mother might have been “intended by nature to be a novelist,” but she had been convinced as an adolescent that fiction was the Devil’s work and grew up to write religious tracts, for which she was very well known in her lifetime.

	Contrasting Views (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Gosse questioned idolatry, which consisted of praying to anyone or anything but God himself, yet the Bible says that wood and stone were liable for worship.
		Gosse began to question his father’s ideologies before he questioned the whole idea of faith, believing that the issue of religion and science was just a fallacy.
		Gosse believed his father’s theory was far-fetched, but he admired him because he proposed a theory that was trying to unite all beliefs.

	Father and Son: The Tragedy of Edmund Gosse.
		Gosse's father (Philip) was a biologist, a contemporary of Charles Darwin, one of the early illuminati to whom Darwin revealed his theory before he unveiled it to the public.
		Edmund saw the main argument of his father's Omphalos as the proposition that there was "no gradual modification of the surface of the earth, or slow development of organic form," but that the "catastrophic" act of creation produced instantly an earth with all the appearances of age.
		The Gosses had always been isolated and insulated from the outside world, and leaving London, the Royal Society, and the British Museum was only the severing of ties that were already worn thread thin.

	Letters of Edmund Gosse to Charles Edmund Merrill, 1910-1924
		Gosse, a well known man of letters, librarian to the House of Lords (1904-1914), and author of the autobiography Father and Son (1907), was a pioneering translator of Ibsen and author of numerous volumes of poetry, criticism and biography.
		Charles Edmund Merrill was an active member of the Grolier Club from 1910 until his death in 1942.
		Six ALS from Sir Edmund Gosse to Charles Edmund Merrill relate to Gosse’s edition of the Life and Letters of John Donne (1896) and Merrill’s edition of Donne’s Letter to Severall (sic) Persons of Honour (1910).

	Archives \| Dr. Donne & Sir Edmund Gosse by Jeremy Bernstein, Vol. 16
		Gosse was close to abandoning the project when Jessopp decided in 1897 to let Gosse write the biography and turned over all of the relevant materials.
		The Gosses had two daughters and a son, who seem to have been brought up with all the intellectual stimulation that Gosse was deprived of in his own childhood.
		Gosse does point out that it had “hitherto escaped notice” that Donne was “completely captivated by the recent epoch-making discoveries in the science of astronomy.” We now accept this as one of the clichés about Donne—although I think that Donne understood less of these discoveries than most people realize.

	OMPHALOS: An Attempt to Untie the Geological Knot by Phillip
		Gosse goes on and on with this arument, separating all time into historic time, what Gosse calls "diachronic" time, and un-historic time, unreal time, virtual time, what Gosse calls "prochronic" time.
		Gosse quotes the philosopher Chalmers, who wrote "We have no experience in the creation of worlds..." From this statement, Gosse concludes, at least for the organic world (he disclaims any arguments for the inorganic), that any act of creation must involve the creation of a being with a history that never took place.
		Gosse's thesis is not, of course, "scientific." While it may be true, it is not testable, nor does it suggest future research projects.

	Edmund Gosse
		He nevertheless secured employment on the library staff of the British Museum from 1865 to 1875, was a translator for the Board of Trade for some 30 years, lectured on English literature at Trinity College, Cambridge, from 1885 to 1890, and finally was librarian to the House of Lords from 1904 to 1914.
		Gosse was a prolific man of letters who was quite influential in his day.
		Unfortunately, Gosse was active just before the modern revolution in standards of scholarship and criticism, so that much of his critical and historical output now appears amateurish in its inaccuracies and carelessness.

		Edmund Gosse's Father and Son (1907) traces his own reckoning--as well as that of his father, the eminent British zoologist Philip Gosse--with the clash.
		"Here was perfect purity," Gosse writes, "perfect intrepidity, perfect abnegation; yet there was also narrowness, isolation, and absence of perspective, let it boldly be admitted, an absence of humanity." Despite all of this, the child maintained his sense of humor, which adds much levity to a tale of such potentially grim proportions.
		When Edmund was 8, his mother died of cancer, leaving him the care of a man in whom "sympathetic imagination...

	Sir Edmund Gosse, 1849-1942. British author
		Gosse was a prolific man of letters who is perhaps most note for having translated three of Ibsen's plays notably Hedda Gabler (1891) and The Master Builder (1892; with W. Archer), thus introducing the great playwright to many for the first time.
		Many believe his finest book, however, is Father and Son (1907), a minor classic of autobiography in which he recounts with grace, irony, and wit his escape from the dominance of a puritanical father to the exhilarating world of letters.
		Finally, there is a signed letter from Gosse to Seumas O’Sullivan (pseudonym of James Sullivan Starkey), congratulating him on a new book of poems (March 23, 1912).
