| Summary | "R. L. Stevenson: A Critical Study" by Frank Swinnerton is a critical biography written in the early 20th century. This work examines the life and literary contributions of Robert Louis Stevenson, a prolific writer known for his novels, essays, poems, and travel writings. The book assesses various aspects of Stevenson's career, highlighting his diversity of writing styles and the influences that shaped his works. The opening of the study presents a concise biographical outline of Stevenson's life, beginning with details of his birth and early literary endeavors. Swinnerton notes that Stevenson was not solely focused on one genre throughout his career; instead, he engaged with a multitude of forms, which will be explored in greater detail throughout the text. The author also references other biographical works for readers interested in a comprehensive understanding of Stevenson's life while positioning his analysis as strictly critical, devoid of exhaustive biographical detail. It establishes that the subsequent chapters will delve into different facets of Stevenson’s writing, from his juvenile work to his essays, poems, and novels.
