An Adult Stevenson

Hall, James | August 14, 1948 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "Robert Louis Stevenson," by David Daiches. One curious result of the revolt against Victorianism is that English literature between 1880 and 1914 has suffered far more casualties than the main body of Victorian literature. David Daiches's "Robert Louis Stevenson" comes at a strategic moment to nail down the revived but uneasy interest in Stevenson. The book will hardly encourage publishers to rush out a new complete works, however, for it neither minimizes the weaknesses that killed Stevenson off nor prescribes a dose of romance for whatever makes people nervous.
