ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON Author Stevenson was one of the most-read adventure novelists of the late 1800s. Among his most popular books were Kidnapped The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), and Treasure Island (1883). The latter book features Stevenson's famous crafty pirate Long John Silver. Stevenson also published a much-loved book of poems, A Child's Garden of Verse (1885). Having suffered from tuberculosis for much of his life, Stevenson spent many years travelling in search of a climate that would suit his illness. He finally settled in Samoa, where he died in 1894 and is buried. Extra credit : The book that some believe would have been Stevenson's best, Weir of Hermiston, was left unfinished at his death.

Stevenson and Henley William Ernest Henley A Book of Verses London, David Nutt, 1888 The poem Apparition records Stevenson's first visit to Henley on February 13, 1875; Henley suffered from tuberculosis of the leg and was in the old Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, under the treatment of Joseph Lister from 1873-1875. His sequence of poems In Hospital had just been accepted for the Cornhill magazine by Leslie Stephen, who introduced Stevenson to him and so began their collaboration. The old Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh This image of the Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary served as the title vignette of Henley's 1888 A Book of Verses . The picturesque old hospital, replaced soon after Henley's stay, was less comfortable for patients; in Henley's phrase from In Hospital , its "corridors and stairs of stone and iron" seemed "half-workhouse and half-jail." William Ernest Henley Henley was influential in Stevenson's career not only as the inspiration for Long John Silver but also as an editor of several periodicals. Some of Stevenson's earliest fiction appeared in the short-lived journal London , essays on aesthetics and city life (in Edinburgh and San Francisco) were first published in The Magazine of Art , and depictions of life in the South Pacific first circulated in the Scots (later National Observer Autograph letter, Stevenson to W.

In the South Seas The schooner Casco The Stevensons chartered this yacht in San Francisco in June 1888 from Dr. Samuel Merrit. A physician and native of Maine (the city of Portland is situated on Casco Bay), Merrit arrived in San Francisco just as the gold rush began, made a fortune in real estate, and eventually served as mayor of nearby Oakland in the late 1860's. Though he expected Stevenson would be "a kind of crank," Merrit was impressed when he met the author in person and agreed to a seven-month lease of the yacht at $500/month plus expenses. Father Damien: An Open Letter to the Reverend Dr. Hyde of Honolulu London, Chatto and Windus, 1890. Stevenson had visited the leper colony on Molokai in May 1889, shortly after Father Damien himself died of leprosy. In Samoa that December, he learnt that a Protestant missionary in Hawaii had attacked Damien's reputation; this outraged defense was first privately printed in Sydney, Australia, in March 1890, and subsequently published in Henley's Scots Observer In the South Seas New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1914.

ROBERT LOUIS BALFOUR STEVENSON Scottish author (1850-1894) Biography: Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edimbrugh in 1850. Son of a learned engineer, he attended the Enginner School of Anstuthen and later, after studing law, he "passed advocate" in 1875 but did not practice sice by now he knew he wanted to be a writer. He had serious problems with his health. He collaborated with Cornhill Magazine. He began travelling in search for a better and healthier climate since he suffered tuberculosis. He published An Inland Voyage (1878) and Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes In Fontainebleau, France, he met Mrs. Fanny Osbourne, the American woman to whom he got married in 1880. She advised him on the composition of his horror story The Strange Case of Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde (1885). His success with Treasure Island (1883) is due to his poetic realism and his renewal of literature of adventures. Fighting against his illness, Stevenson had to go to Marquise islands, Tahiti, Honolulu and finally he decided to live in Samoa, where he wrote In the South Seas (1896) and his unfinished novel Weir of Hermiston (posthumous publication of 1896). He died in Vailima, Samoa, in 1894, struck down by apoplexy. Following his last will, he was buried in Vaea mountain, where his grave has views on the Pacific Ocean.

He first studied engineering and afterwards law at the University of Edinburgh, and, in 1875, was called to the bar. Meanwhile, he had been writing essays for various magazines and finally made literature his profession. To strengthen his delicate constitution, he went in for much pedestrian travelling in Scotland and France. His lung-disease having become chronic, he tried several health-resorts in England, France and America, then started on a cruise in the Pacific (1888), and at last in 1890 bought the estate of Vailima in Samoa, where he spent the last four years of his life.

Treasure Island Author Info: Robert Louis Stevenson Them that die'll be the lucky ones. -Treasure Island The last few pirate movies ( Hook and Cutthroat Island among them) have bombed so disastrously at the box office that it's hard to tell whether it was simply because they weren't very good or whether kids have abandoned the genre. I certainly hope it's the former, I'd hate to think that kids today are missing out on all the great pirate tales that we used to thrill too. Foremost of these was, of course, Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. I may well be wrong here, but it seems to me that Stevenson pioneered one of the central techniques of children's literature ; placing a child at the center of what might otherwise be a typical adult adventure novel. This simple but ingenious idea gives kids a character to identify with and allows the author to write from the child's perspective. In the case of Treasure Island , young Jim Hawkins narrates the story of how he and Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and the enigmatic Long John Silver ended up on board the

Frames On Frames Off ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON Heather Ale Death "Bright is the ring of words" Ticonderoga Robert Louis Stevenson is remembered primarily as the author of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886). Three of the poems below, "Heather Ale," "Death," and "Ticonderoga," are as grim as the story of the doctor who wishes to indulge his evil impulses by separating them from his respectable self. "Ticonderoga" even presents us with a brief glimpse of the doubleness we have come to associate with Dr. Jekyll, when the Cameron of the poem sees his "weird" and realizes that its presence signals his death. However, the short poem "Bright is the ring of words" is significantly more optimistic; in it, poetry itself becomes a fantastical spirit that has the power to transcend death. This doubleness is appropriate for an author as versatile as Stevenson, who wrote both one of the most frighteningly memorable gothic tales and A Child's Garden of Verses Stevenson was born in Edinburgh into a family that had become both famous and wealthy for building lighthouses. His father Thomas was a lighthouse engineer in the family tradition. Both Thomas and Stevenson's mother Margaret, a minister's daughter, were devout Calvinists who would later be pained by his rebellion against established religious teachings. As a child, Stevenson developed the tuberculosis that would trouble him for the rest of his life. When he could not sleep, kept awake at night by violent coughing, his nurse Alison Cunningham would stay awake with him, often until dawn. "Cummie," as he called her, was even more devout than his parents; she taught him the Bible and a vivid fear of Hell, but also nurtured his imagination with stories of witches and ghosts. He was to remember her fondly until his death.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Robert Louis Stevenson Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850. The son of a prosperous civil engineer, he was expected to follow the family profession but finally was allowed to study law at Edinburgh University. In his early twenties he became afflicted with a severe respiratory illness from which he was to suffer for the rest of his life; it was at this time that he was determined to become a professional writer. At 26 years of age, Stevenson met Mrs. Fanny Osbourne, a married American art student who was studying in Paris. Fanny was 11 years older than Stevenson and had a son and a daughter. Stevenson fell in love with her, and in 1880, after Fanny's divorce, the two were married in Oakland, California. Due to Stevenson's constant illness, which developed into tuberculosis, he travelled from place to place hoping to improve his health. The harsh nature of the Scottish climate forced him to spend long periods abroad looking for a place where he could live and work. Stevenson and his family finally settled on the Samoan island of Upolu in 1890. He bought a large estate and built a large house that he called "Vailima" (Five Rivers). There, he was loved by the native Samoans who called him "Tusitala" (teller of tales). On December 3, 1894, at the age of 44, Stevenson died of a stroke. The natives carried his body to the peak of Mount Vaea, where they buried him. His poem "Requiem" is inscribed on his gravestone as an epitaph:
