Stevenson author of fiction works that have become legendary in children's literature. Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson spent much of his life travelling to find a location that would ease his chronic bronchial illness, and, in doing so, was inspired to write about places and characters that have become legendary in children's literature. Stevenson's works of fiction made him a celebrity throughout the Western world, and these stories have almost all been in publication since. They explore the relationship between sin and evil, and the potential for moral corruption to exist below the superficialities of society. Source : Classics Network Editorial Team Scottish essayist, poet and author of fiction and travel books, known especially for his novels of adventure. Characteristic for Stevenson's novels is skillful use of horror and supernatural elements. Often his stories are set in colorful locations, where his characters can forget the restrictions of Victorian social manners. Arguing against realism, Stevenson underlined the "nameless longings of the reader", the desire for experience. "But we are so fond of life that we have no leisure to entertain the terror of death. It is a honeymoon with us all through, and none of the lon... [

Home Page Poetry Index Robert Louis Stevenson, (1850-1894) In the Highlands In the Highlands, in the country places, Where the old plain men have rosy faces, And the young fair maidens Quiet eyes; Where essential silence cheers and blesses, And for ever in the hill-recesses Her more lovely music broods and dies. O, to mount again where erst I haunted; Where the old red hills are bird-enchanted, And the low green meadows Bright with sward; And when even dies, the million-tinted, And the night has come, and planets ginted, Lo, the valley hollow Lamp-bestarred O, to dream, O to awake and wander There, and with delight to take and render, Through the trance of silence, Quiet breath! Lo! for there, among the flowers and grasses, Only the mightier movement sounds and passes; Only winds and rivers, Life and Death Requiem Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from sea. And the hunter home from the hill.

54. Poems Of The Fantastic And Macabre - ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON 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

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 BALFOUR STEVENSON Scottish author (1850-1894) Biography: Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edimbrugh in 1850.

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 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.
