Although Robert Louis Stevenson was a late Victorian, his work still circulates energetically and internationally among popular and academic audiences and among young and old. Part 1 of this volume provides an introduction to the writer's life and a survey of the criticism of his work. In part 2 thirty essays address such topics as Stevenson's for children; his Scottish heritage; his wanderlust; his work as gothic fiction, as science fiction, as detective fiction; and how he encourages expansive thinking across texts, times, places, and lives.
