Robert Louis Stevenson, a renowned fiction writer, is often overlooked as an essayist in the eyes of his contemporaries. However, his essays, renowned for their profound intellectual depth, powerful emotional impact, and vibrant stylistic vitality, were widely regarded as the finest of their era. Despite the significance of Stevenson's non-fiction works, his personal essays, totaling 70 in number, have never been compiled into a single volume until now.
Stevenson's essays delve into a diverse array of subjects, encompassing illness, evolution, marriage, dreams, literal and literary travel, as well as the behavior of children and the nature of dogs. He confronts numerous cultural, ethical, and existential dilemmas of his time, eschewing
resisting dogma to arrive at fresh and thought-provoking conclusions. Throughout his essays, Stevenson vividly portrays the lives of beggars, university students, immigrants, engineers, invalids, and nurses, sharing his own captivating life story and distinctive perspective on the art of living.
While the most commonly encountered versions of these texts were altered after Stevenson's passing, this volume presents his personal essays, many of which have never been published in modern editions, in their authorized forms. These essays continue to be regarded as classic exemplars of the form, and in this volume, the Editor provides an introduction and notes to facilitate a rereading and renewed appreciation of their timeless significance.
