In Father and Son , Gosse asserts the right of his subject to imaginative freedom, but as narrator never embraces this freedom fully himself. Instead he suppresses his narrative power while asserting the authoritativeness of his account. This simultaneous rejection of power and assertion of authority is facilitated by Gosse's use of women, who provide an analogy for his paradoxical position as victim and victor, as rebel against and invoker of established authority
