- Title
Darwin's "Historical Sketch": An Examination of the 'Preface' to the Origin of Species.
- Authors
Griffiths, Devin
- Abstract
The glaring portrait of Darwin himself, featured on the cover, is from a mid-1850s photograph that Darwin did not like. His previous book, I Darwin's Dice: The Idea of Chance in the Thought of Charles Darwin i (2007), is an extended study of the place of chance in Darwin's writing. Johnson's unconventional approach to the study of Darwin's "sketch" has some interesting features beyond tracing out his engagement with more minor figures.
