| Summary | "Robert Louis Stevenson" by E. Blantyre Simpson is a biography written in the early 20th century, specifically around the 1900s. The book provides an insightful overview of the life and works of the renowned Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, who is celebrated for his literary contributions and adventurous spirit. It likely explores his upbringing, literary career, struggles with health, and the impact of his works on both his readers and the literary landscape. In this biography, Simpson delves into Stevenson's early life in Edinburgh, highlighting his unique childhood experiences that shaped his outlook on life. The narrative traces Stevenson's journey from a fragile boy plagued by health issues to a prolific writer known for works such as "Treasure Island" and "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde." Aside from detailing Stevenson's growth as a writer, the text also captures his adventurous spirit as seen through his travels across Europe and the South Seas, ultimately leading to his settling in Samoa. Throughout, the author portrays the dichotomy of Stevenson’s character—his artistic passion alongside a relentless pursuit of health—and how these themes resonate through his literary achievements.
