The research of the botanist Asa Gray (1810–1898) was critical in helping Darwin to develop his ideas about the relationships between species spread far apart geographically: Darwin’s conclusions became an important component of his theory of evolution. When Darwin died in 1882, Victoria had been queen of Britain for forty-five years. Darwin died a Victorian. During his lifetime, the British had abolished the slave trade, enacted major reforms of the voting system in 1832 and 1867, and enlarged the empire.
38 Whatever the cause of Darwin’s illnesses, the important fact is that they prevented him from working. Darwin’s literary output is impressive. It is even more impressive when put in the context of his frequent bouts of sickness. Darwin continued to work hard despite his poor health. In 1846, after he finished editing the volumes on the geology and zoology of the Beagle, Darwin began writing about barnacles (Cirripedia). After eight years of research, Darwin published two large books on living barnacles and two small books on extinct barnacles.
1 Biographers of Darwin have a great deal of material at their disposal. One reason why his biographers know so much about Darwin is due to Darwin himself. Darwin wrote a short autobiography for his wife and children in 1876, which he added to in 1881. Then there are his more than twenty major books. Add to these more than a hundred articles and the numerous letters he wrote and received. This is an impressive corpus from which biographers can find plenty of details about Darwin’s personal life and his scientific thought.
