Selected Bibliography

 

In researching this book, I relied as much as possible on primary sources (letters, diary entries, Charles Darwin's notebooks and manuscripts, as well as his autobiography and other published books). I was not always able to do so, however, and fortunately was able to rely on the scholarship of others. Below is a list, albeit incomplete, of the books that helped me. The resources on the Internet are almost infinite. But the two sites I used most and would recommend are The Darwin Correspondence Project (
www.darwinproject.ac.uk
) and The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online (
http://darwin-online.org.uk
). These sites are continually updated.
