    Robert Louis Stevenson (18501894) Robert Louis Stevenson is rememberedprimarily as the author of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886).  
    http://people.bu.edu/tgoss/anthology/poets/STEVENSONnf.html
    
    Extractions: 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.

    http://www.ricochet-jeunes.org/eng/biblio/author/stevenson.html
    
    Extractions: Scottish author (1850-1894) 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. 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.

    Extractions: Born on 13 November, 1850, Stevenson's father was an engineer who, with his two brothers, was responsible for building over 40 lighthouses around Britain. Stevenson was an only child whose later autobiographical essays and poetry ("A Child's Garden of Verses") described growing up in Edinburgh He suffered from ill health but he started an engineering course at Edinburgh University with a view to following into his father's business. But he wanted to be a professional writer and eventually, as a compromise with his father, he studied instead for a law degree, becoming an advocate in 1875. His holidays spent in France with his cousin, an artist, became the basis for "Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes". He sometimes wrote in the Scots vernacular, including a number of poems and the story of "Thrawn Janet". While in France he met Fanny Vandegrift Osbourne, an American who was 10 years older than Stevenson. Despite disapproval from his father, he followed her across America and married her in San Francisco. However he had contracted tuberculosis and spent the following years trying to find places conducive to helping to allay his symptoms. He published "Treasure Island" in 1882 and the thriller Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde"and "Kidnapped" in 1886. While in America he started "The Master of Ballantrae" set in Scotland and America.

    Extractions: Name: Robert Louis Stevenson Birth Date: November 13, 1850 Death Date: Place of Birth: Edinburgh, Scotland Nationality: Scottish Gender: Male Occupations: writer Robert Louis Stevenson Main Biography The Scottish novelist, essayist, and poet Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was one of the most popular and highly regarded British writers of the end of the 19th century. He played a significant part in the revival of the novel of romance. During Robert Louis Stevenson's youth the romantic novels of Sir Walter Scott and his followers had been eclipsed by the realism of William Makepeace Thackeray and Anthony Trollope. Writing in conscious opposition to this trend, Stevenson formulated his theoretical position in his essays "A Gossip on Romance" (1882), "A Humble Remonstrance" (1884), and "The Lantern-bearers" (1888). Romance, he wrote, is not concerned with objective truth but rather with things as they appear to the subjective imagination, with the "poetry of circumstance." Romance, according to Stevenson, avoids complications of character and morality and dwells on action and adventure.
