Excerpt from The Life of Robert Louis Stevenson, Vol. 1 of 2
Many persons, both friends and strangers to me, have rendered my task far easier than l could have hoped. There is hardly one of Stevenson's intimate friends but has helped me in a greater or less degree, and if l were here to repeat my thanks to all to whom l am indebted for information, i should have to record more than sixty names. Those to whom we owe most are otten those whom formally we thank the least; and to Mrs. Steven son and Mr. Lloyd Osbourne 1 can never express my indebtedness for their suggestions and their knowledge, their confidence, their patience, and their encourage ment. But, of course, for everything that is here printed l alone am responsible.
The references to Stevenson's writings are necessarily to the pages of the Edinburgh Edition, as being the most complete English collection of his works.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of the Stevenson family and of Robert Louis Stevenson, the celebrated Scottish author. Drawing on family records and papers, the author traces the history of the Stevenson family over several generations, and examines the many ways in which family characteristics and experiences influenced Stevenson's own life and writing. Stevenson's ancestors on both sides were skilled engineers, and the author considers the extent to which their example and their influence on his upbringing fostered his own creative abilities. The book also examines the influence of other significant people in Stevenson's life, including his parents, his nurse, and his cousin, all of whom contributed in different ways to his intellectual and emotional development. The author offers new insights into Stevenson's religious upbringing, tracing the influence of Calvinism and the Scottish Covenanters on his writing and on his ideas about good and evil. The book also considers how Stevenson's lifelong battles with ill health shaped his character and the themes of his writing. This detailed and insightful volume provides a fascinating account of the making of a writer.
