The Wedgwood/darwin Dynasty

PHOTO MISSING

In 1839, a marriage took place which cemented a union between two of the great family names of British history. Emma Wedgewood, daughter of Josiah, was a scion of the great family responsible for the distinctive ceramics associated with the name. She married a man from a respectable but relatively unremarkable family whose name was destined to become one of the most important in world history Charles Darwin. This union is the centrepiece of the book, which is a history of the Wedgewood-Darwin dynasty . This book is a highly informative account of two of the great families of British history, illuminating not only the private (and public) lives of the families themselves, but also the times in which they lived. The authors apparently unique degree of access to family papers makes this an original and valuable contribution to history.
