Produktbeschreibung

Novelist, poet, priest and controversialist, Charles Kingsley (1819â 1875) epitomises the bustling Victorian man of letters. As this inter-disciplinary collection of chapters demonstrates, however, he was far from a typical Victorian, a polymath who tested the limits of faith, science and sexuality.
