Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The correspondence between Charles Lyell, Sr, and Gabriele Rossetti and Charles Lyell, Jr, and Charles Darwin clarifies the socio-religious climate of England between 1837 and 1841. The conservative ideas and intolerance with religious questioning made it impossible to publish Rossetti's 'Mistreso dell'amor platonico' and delayed the publication of Darwin's 'Origin of Species.' Darwin, who was younger than Rossetti, waited until England became more receptive to controversial ideas and published his work in 1959.
