A Week in Literary HistoryNovember 13th, 2002 Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, 1886) is born in Edinburgh in 1850.
Stevenson led an adventurous life and managed to work most of his major adventures and concerns into his fiction. For a while after his death, he was relegated to the minor ranks, but his reputation has steadily revived, and his popularity has never waned. He is a fluent, lively, and ambitious writer, and his works have been translated far more widely than his contemporaries Poe, Dickens, and Wilde.
