A Natural CallingThe Most Dangerous Man in Europe: Living in the Shadow of Fame

A Natural Calling: The Most Dangerous Man in Europe: Living in the Shadow of Fame [The publication of “On the origin of Species” in November 1859 projected Charles Darwin into such an exalted orbit that it was bound not only to affect his relationship with William Darwin Fox, but with the world in general. The first signs of this are hard to detect but probably affected both Darwin’s health and those around him and his leisure time; “I have done little of my regular work this summer; chiefly owing to incessant anxiety & movements on account of Etty.

Abstract

[The publication of “On the origin of Species” in November 1859 projected Charles Darwin into such an exalted orbit that it was bound not only to affect his relationship with William Darwin Fox, but with the world in general. The first signs of this are hard to detect but probably affected both Darwin’s health and those around him and his leisure time; “I have done little of my regular work this summer; chiefly owing to incessant anxiety & movements on account of Etty. My correspondence about the “Origin” has also been gigantic, & a day hardly passes without one, two or three letters on the subject. I have amused myself with a little Natural History of other kinds…” he wrote to Fox in 1860 (Letter #141).]
