The relationship of Charles and Emma Darwin, In January 1839, three years after his return from the epic Voyage of the Beagle, Charles Darwin, not quite 30, married his first cousin, Emma Wedgwood. The letters which they wrote to each other, to family and to friends over a period of forty years, reveal an extraordinary love story. Through them we experience the triumph and tragedy, humour and heartache of the great scientist and his resilient wife.
