Father and Son is also the record of Gosse's struggle to 'fashion his inner life for himself' - a record of whose full and subversive implications the author was unaware, as Peter Abbs notes in his Introduction.

Edmund Gosse's 'Father and Son: A Study of Two Temperaments' is a poignant memoir exploring the complex relationship between a father and a son.

This edition by DigiCat Publishing affords the opportunity to engage with Gosse's astute observations on literary art, bridging the gap between historical literary dialogues and contemporary discourse.
