Charles Darwin lived and worked for 40 years at Down House in Kent, where in the privacy of his study he wrote On the Origin of Species. Drawing on documentary sources and research, this book discusses Darwin and his work, from his early life to the Beagle voyage and how his theory of evolution shook contemporary Victorian thought.
