My book draws on a range of sources. Darwin’s quotes are taken from an autobiographical fragment from 1838 and his later autobiography written in May 1876 as they appear in Charles Darwin and T. H. Huxley Autobiographies; Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1983. The University of Cambridge Darwin Correspondence Project has been an invaluable resource and also John Van Whye’s Darwin Online web site. I would like to thank Shrewsbury School for allowing me access to their Darwin Archive which allowed me to include extracts from letters from Darwin to his schoolfriend, Charles Whitley.
