One of the nineteenth century's most famous intellectuals, Herbert Spencer (1820–1903) coined the term 'survival of the fittest', which led to his being regarded as a Social Darwinist. Published in 1908 and based on his correspondence, this biography tracks his developing interests and assesses his character and significance.
