DESCRIPTION:By the time of his death Charles Darwin was one of the most ce
 lebrated –and one of the most notorious—scientists in the world.  Stil
 l controversial\, Darwin has become an icon of modern science at the same 
 time as his theories have become the basis of modern biology. In this seri
 es exploring Darwin’s legacy\, Janet Browne looks at Darwin’s educatio
 n and intellectual growth with special reference to the Beagle voyage and 
 beyond. Over the years\, however\, our opinions about key moments in the d
 evelopment of Darwin’s ideas have subtly shifted. She will consider the 
 ways in which historians and biographers since Darwin’s death have writt
 en about the development of his theories\, and set these views in the cont
 ext of changing ideas about biography in the twentieth century.
