Description

The English naturalist Charles Darwin wrote an autobiography titled The Autobiography of Charles Darwin.

Recollections of the Development of my Mind and Character is the title of a text written by Charles Darwin for his family.

He claims to have begun writing it about May 28 and finished it by August 3.

The work, which included an autobiographical chapter, was published in 1887 by John Murray as part of The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, five years after Darwin's passing.

Francis Darwin, Darwin's son, changed the text that appeared in Life and Letters, deleting key sentences reflecting his father's skepticism about Christianity and God.

The missing chapters were eventually added by Nora Barlow, Darwin's granddaughter, in a 1958 edition published to mark the book's 100th anniversary of publication.

The Autobiography of Charles Darwin 1809-1882 was the title of this publication, which Collins published in London. restored, along with the initial omissions edited with an appendix and notes by Nora Barlow, his granddaughter.
