About This Book

A curated volume of Robert Louis Stevenson’s correspondence from the early 1880s records letters written while he sought healthier climates on the French Riviera and later at Bournemouth. The letters mix vivid travel and domestic detail, candid accounts of chronic illness and convalescence, exchanges with friends, family, and literary colleagues, and commentary on publishing projects and stories under way. Editorial material organizes the letters by period and location and frames them with context, reproducing Stevenson’s moods, practical difficulties, and creative activity during seasons of both productivity and decline.
