Charles Darwin and his revolutionary ideas inspired pundits the world over to put pen to paper. In this unique dictionary of quotations, Darwin scholar Thomas F. Glick looks over the shoulders of those who revered- or reviled- the great scientist. What was it about Darwin that generated such widespread interest? Darwin's Origin of the Species changed the world. Naturalists, clerics, politicians, novelists, poets, musicians, economists, and philosophers alike could not help but engage his theories. Whatever their view of his work, however, those who met Darwin in person were unfailingly charmed by his modesty, kindness, and honesty. This diverse collection drawn from essays, letters, novels, short stories, plays, poetry, speeches, and parodies that shows Darwin's ideas permeating all areas of thought. The quotations trace a broad conversation about Darwin across great distances of time and space, revealing his profound influence on the great thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. -- Book cover.
