Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Marius Borror and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Swanston Edition, Vol. 09" by Stevenson is a collection of essays and autobiographical musings written during the late 19th century. The text offers reflections on themes of memory, identity, and the nuances of cultural differences, particularly between the Scots and the English. Through his observations, Stevenson provides insight into his personal history, the people who shaped him, and the landscapes that influenced his work. The beginning of the volume introduces the essay "The Foreigner at Home," where Stevenson muses on the complex relationships between different cultures within the United Kingdom, particularly highlighting the distinctiveness of Scottish identity. He reflects on his own experiences transitioning between Scotland and England, pointing out the deep cultural and social divides that exist even within the same geographical boundaries. The opening sets a tone of nostalgia and cultural critique, suggesting that Stevenson seeks to explore the intricacies of belonging and dislocation in a rapidly changing world. As he begins this introspective journey, he invites readers to consider how geography and heritage intertwine in the fabric of personal and collective identity.
