Abstract
Edmund Gosse's memoir, Father and Son , presents itself, as the subtitle has it, as A Study of Two Temperaments , and at an early point Gosse insists that "There came a time when neither spoke the same language as the other. . . . " In a sense this is almost literally true, and the burden of the book is to show how Gosse's developing consciousness of self is manifested through a consciousness of words in opposition to his father's belief in "The Word," the fundamentalism of the Plymouth Brethren.
