Robert Louis Stevenson and theories of reading is both an exceptionally well researched study of the novelist, and well as an intriguing exploration of 'literary consumption'. Glenda Norquay presents fresh interpretations of Stevenson’s literary essays, of major works including The Master of Ballantrae, and some of his more neglected fiction such as St Ives and The Wrecker, as well as illuminating our understanding of his role within debates over popular fiction, romance and reading pleasure. She offers an unusual combination of literary history and reception theory and argues that Stevenson both exemplified tensions within the literary market of his time and anticipated later developments in reading theory. By combining the study of nineteenth-century cultural politics with detailed analysis of his Scottish Calvinism, Stevenson is reassessed as both a Victorian and Scottish writer. The book is aimed at scholars, postgraduates and undergraduates with an interest in the nineteenth-century literary marketplace, in Scottish culture, and in reading /reception theory as well as Stevenson enthusiasts.

In a small Scottish village the Reverends housekeeper is rumoured to be involved with witchcraft. As strange and terrifying events unfold, the villagers' darkest fears come to life. Stevenson's masterful use of the Scots dialect and atmospheric setting enhances the eerie and unsettling mood of this gothic narrative. »Thrawn Janet« is a short story by Robert Louis Stevenson, originally published in 1881. ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON [1850–1894] was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer. He is among the 30 most translated authors of all time and has been praised by Marcel Proust, Jorge Luis Borges, Vladimir Nabokov, Ernest Hemingway, and Bertolt Brecht. Treasure Island is his most famous work, along with the gothic sci-fi novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.

Excerpt from The Faith of Robert Louis Stevenson I cannot send forth a second edition of this book without a few further words with my readers, and the first word must be one of heartiest gratitude. The cordiality of its reception by the great majority of reviewers, both in Britain and America, has surprised me; while many letters from friends, known and unknown, have touched me very deeply. If the book has braced the courage of some readers and quickened their belief in life, one of its main ends has been accomplished. For several criticisms revealing errors of detail I also thank my critics, and have gladly made the necessary changes.
