Om denne bog

Critical interest in Robert Louis Stevenson has never been greater. New editions of the author''s works--from the poems to the travel writing, from the Scottish novels to the South Seas tales--are appearing. During the year 2000, the sesquicentennial of RLS''s birth, three conferences were held in honor of the occasion and each entertained an international audience.

This collection of essays reflects the scope of Robert Louis Stevenson''s achievement and the range of current critical response. The first section contains four critical overviews that include an analysis of the Stevensonian imagination, an assessment of the author''s literary theory, an examination of the coded significance of burial and reanimation in Stevenson''s Wrong Box and other works, and an examination of the use of both Scottish and South Seas islands in his fiction.

The second section contains three essays that examine the many-faceted Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Other works--An Inland Voyage, A Child''s Garden of Verses, The Dynamiter, The Master of Ballantrae, and Prayers Written at Vailima--are the subjects of the six essays in the third section. Three essays on biography, popular culture, and personal response are in the fourth section.
