About the Author
Robert Louis Stevenson (Author)
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850. The son of a prosperous
civil engineer, he was expected to follow the family profession but was finally
allowed to study law at Edinburgh University. Stevenson reacted forcibly against
the Presbyterianism of both his city's professional classes and his devout
parents, but the influence of Calvinism on his childhood informed the fascination
with evil that is so powerfully explored in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson
suffered from a severe respiratory disease from his twenties onwards, leading
him to settle in the gentle climate of Samoa with his American wife, Fanny
Osbourne.
