Darwin's Life in Letters
Charles Darwin wrote letters all his life. Come and find out what they reveal about the man!
- Booking advisable
This talk comes to Wicken Fen courtesy of the Darwin Correspondence Project. What do Darwin's letters tell us about his time as a young man, collecting in the fens and off the boats in Cambridge? And what do they reveal about the older man too?
