Описание:
Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pictorial Text explores the genesis, production and the critical appreciation of the illustrations to the fiction of Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson is one of the most copied and interpreted authors of the late nineteenth century, especially his novels Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. These interpretations began with the illustration of his texts in their early editions, often with Stevenson's express consent, and this book traces Stevenson's understanding and critical responses to the artists employed to illustrate his texts. In doing so, it attempts to position Stevenson as an important thinker and writer on the subject of illustrated literature, and on the marriage of literature and visual arts, at a moment preceding the dawn of cinema, and the rejection of such popular tropes by modernist writers of the early twentieth century.

Описание: From 1888 to 1915 Robert Louis and Jack London were uniquely placed to witness and record the struggle for the South Pacific. Engaging the major European colonial empires and the USA, the political, cultural and ideological fight for the region not only questioned ideas of liberty, racial identity, and class like few other arenas of the time but anticipates the major conflicts of the twentieth century.
By exploring this unique moment in South Pacific and Western history, this study assesses the impact of Stevenson and London's national identities on their work; it discusses their attitudes towards colonialism, race and class; shows how they negotiated different cultures and peoples in their writing and works out where both writers are placed in the Western tradition of writing about the Pacific.
By contextualizing Stevenson's and London's South Pacific work, Phillips reveal two critical voices of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century colonialism that deserve to stand beside their contemporary Joseph Conrad in shaping contemporary attitudes towards imperialism, race, and class.

Описание: In his travel narrative Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes (1879), Robert Louis Stevenson declares, "I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.?" Taking up the concepts of time, place, and memory, the contributors to this collection explore in what ways the dynamic view of life suggested by this quotation permeates Stevenson's work. The essays adopt a wide variety of critical approaches, including post-colonial theory, post-structuralism, new historicism, art history, and philosophy, making use of the vast array of literary materials that Stevenson left across a global journey that began in Scotland in 1850 and ended in Samoa in 1894. These range from travel journals, letters, and classic literary staples such as Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, to rarely read masterpieces such as The Master of Ballantrae or The Ebb-Tide. While much recent scholarship on Stevenson foregrounds geography, the present volume also examines the theme of movement across memory, time, and generic boundaries. Taken together, the essays offer a view of Stevenson that demonstrates how the protean nature of his literary output reflects the radical developments in science, technology, and culture that characterized the age in which he lived.

Описание: Despite attracting the admiration of Modernists like Nabokov and Borges, Stevenson remains for many an apologist for the lost world of the romance. Strenously resisting the authority of the literary `fathers` (though haunted by the complexities of paternity), Stevenson reveals strong affinities with emergent Modernism.

Описание:
Explores Robert Louis Stevenson's collaborative process
Contains new readings of thirteen works by Robert Louis Stevenson, including several rarely discussed
Sheds light on connections between authorship, celebrity, the literary marketplace and the creative process
Supported by extensive manuscript research
This book investigates Stevenson's literary collaborations with family and friends as he travelled Scotland, America and the Pacific. With critical readings of both major and minor Stevenson texts, supported and contextualised by unpublished manuscripts and letters by both Stevenson and those he wrote with, this book argues that Stevenson's writings are both a product of and a meditation on collaborative writing.
Stevenson's self-reflective body of work reimagines late-Victorian authorship by examining the ways that authors choose material, negotiate the marketplace and, ultimately, maintain power over their own words, or let that power go.
