Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pictorial Text explores the genesis,
production and the critical appreciation of the illustrations to
the fiction of Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson is one of the most
copied and interpreted authors of the late nineteenth century,
especially his novels Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll
and Mr Hyde. These interpretations began with the illustration of
his texts in their early editions, often with Stevenson's express
consent, and this book traces Stevenson's understanding and
critical responses to the artists employed to illustrate his texts.
In doing so, it attempts to position Stevenson as an important
thinker and writer on the subject of illustrated literature, and on
the marriage of literature and visual arts, at a moment preceding
the dawn of cinema, and the rejection of such popular tropes by
modernist writers of the early twentieth century.
