Book Description
Stevenson’s work short and long fiction, travel writing, poetry, essays, and letters (he was one of the great letter writers of the nineteenth century) will ensorcell readers with a writer who, like Ernest Hemingway, is that rare figure whose prose at its best is dateless, and one whose intellectual theories of art and culture are perhaps more compelling today because we are better prepared to understand them. This edition of the Works contains all of Stevenson’s known works, including the novels, short stories, essays, plays and a substantial collection of letters, plus both the version of ‘The Beach of Falesá’ originally published and the unexpurgated version only discovered in the 1980s which has never previously appeared in editions of the works of Stevenson. This includes some material written in collaboration, notably the rarely reprinted ‘An Object of Pity’. Barry Menikoff is Professor of English and American Literature at the University of Hawaii and one of the world’s leading authorities on Robert Louis Stevenson. Professor Menikoff has contributed an introduction to the Works as a whole, printed in volume 1.
