Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson, Vol. 10 The first edition of Familiar Studies of Men and Books was published by Messrs. Chatto and Windus in March, 1882. The essays of which it is composed, were as Stevenson says in his critical preface, collected from periodicals. One, Walt Whitman, appeared in The New Quarterly Magazine, another, John Knox and his Relations to Women, in Macmillan´s Magazine and all the others in The Cornhill Magazine. In point of time they cover seven years, the first, Victor Hugo´s Romances, appearing in August, 1874, and the last, Samuel Pepys, in July, 1881. The essay on Victor Hugo´s Romances deserves careful study, for it marked, in Steveson´s own opinion, the beginning of his command of style. He told Mr. Graham Balfour long afterwards in Samoa that in this paper he had first found himself able to say several things in the way in which he felt they should be said.
