Emma Darwin - Modern Day

Modern Day

In 2001 a biography of Emma was published written by Edna Healey, though it has been criticised for attempting to give credit to Emma for her husband's ideas, whereas most other historians agree she had little, if any, scientific input.

In 2008 Mrs Charles Darwin's Recipe Book was published, with profits going to the Darwin Correspondence Project at Cambridge University.

The 2009 film Creation focuses in part on the relationship between Charles and Emma. Emma is played by Jennifer Connelly.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or day:

    A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry. In each case the representation of reality is increasingly removed from the picture which is immediately presented to us by our senses.
    Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)

    ‘O blissful God, that art so just and true,
    Lo, how that thou bewrayest murder alway!
    Murder will out, that see we day by day.
    Murder is so wlatsom and abominable
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
