Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish writer renowned for his novels, poetry, and travel writing.

He was highly regarded by literary giants like Borges, Hemingway, and Nabokov.

Despite his popularity, modernist writers often dismissed his work.

Stevenson's most famous works include Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

His writing style is noted for its vivid descriptions and ability to capture readers' imaginations.

In recent years, critics have begun to reassess Stevenson's place in the Western literary canon, recognizing his significant contributions to English literature beyond his popular appeal.
