Edmund Gosse was born on the 21th of September 1849 in London. He was the son of the zoologist P. H. Gosse.
In 1867 Edmund Gosse became an assistant in the department of printed books in the British Museum, where he remained until he became in 1875 translator to the Board of Trade. In 1904 he was appointed librarian to the House of Lords. In 1884-1890 he was Clark Lecturer in English literature at Trinity College, Cambridge. Himself a writer of literary verse of much grace, and master of a prose style admirably expressive of a wide and appreciative culture, he was conspicuous for his valuable work in bringing foreign literature home to English reader". Northern Studies (1879), a collection of essays on the literature ' of Holland and Scandinavia, was the outcome of a prolonged visit to those countries, and was followed by later work in the same direction. He translated Ibsen's Hedda Gabler (1891), and, with W. Archer, The Master-Builder (1893), and in 1907 he wrote a life of Ibsen for the "Literary Lives" series. He also edited the English translation of the works of Bjornson. His services to Scandinavian letters were acknowledged in 1901. Mr Gosse's published volumes of verse include On Viol and. Flute (1873), King Erik (1876), New Poems (1879), Firdausi in Exile (1885), In Russet and Silver (1894), Collected Poems (1896). In 1905 he was entertained in Paris by the leading litterateurs as a representative of English literary culture. In 1907 Mr Gosse published anonymously Father and Son, an intimate study of his own early family life.
Gosse was a prolific man of letters who was quite influential in his day. He translated three of Ibsen’s plays, notably Hedda Gabler (1891) and The Master Builder (1892; with W. Archer). His finest book is probably Father and Son (1907), a minor classic of autobiography in which he recounts with grace, irony, and wit his escape from the dominance of a puritanical father to the exhilarating world of letters. In 1901 he was made a knight of the Norwegian order of St Olaf of the first class. Gosse was knighted in 1925.
