Pengarang: Philip Henry Gosse

Sokongan
Philip Henry Gosse (1810–1888) was a British naturalist, marine biologist, and illustrator whose work significantly contributed to the mid-19th-century understanding of marine biology and to the literature of natural sciences. His meticulous observations and innovative techniques in marine research distinguished him, particularly his use of the aquarium as a tool for studying marine organisms in captivity. Drawing from a wellspring of firsthand experiences and exploration, Gosse authored “The Romance of Natural History, Second Series” (1861), a work that exemplifies his ability to weave scientific detail with engaging narrative, making the study of natural history accessible and entertaining to the Victorian public. Gosse”s literary style is characterized by a vivid portrayal of the natural world, often imbued with a sense of wonder and a deep reverence for creation, which can be traced to his devout Christian beliefs. His efforts to reconcile natural history with those beliefs culminated in the book “Omphalos” (1857), which, despite its controversial reception, underscores the complexity of his thought as a naturalist. Though less well-known today, Gosse”s contributions to natural history literature, as both a skilled writer and a pioneering scientist, have left an indelible mark on the field.
