Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) is widely known for his novels "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Treasure Island, " and "Kidnapped." His reputation as a "romantic" writer and children's author, however, reflects only a portion of his literary achievement. This collection of stories features an introduction by Stevenson scholar Barry Menikoff which places Stevenson's writing in a new context. Menikoff argues that Stevenson is misunderstood by academic readers and critics and presents him as a writer whose subjects and methods are clearly modernist. Included in this volume for the first time are versions of the stories "Markheim" and "The Isle of Voices" as they appear in Stevenson' s holograph manuscripts, plus his classics "The Suicide Club, The Rajah's Diamond, " "The Bottle Imp, " "The Pavilion on the Links, " "A Lodging for the Night, " "The Merry Men, " and "Thrawn Janet.
