Description for Robert Louis Stevenson and the Appearance of Modernism
Hardback. This critical study analyzes Robert Louis Stevenson's literary criticism. It then conducts a re-examination of his works, and views his writings in the context of emerging modernism. Alan Sandison is the author of "The Wheel of Empire" and "The Last Man in Europe". Num Pages: 433 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 2AB; DSBF; DSK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 38. Weight in Grams: 702.
Despite attracting the admiration of Modernists like Nabokov and Borges, Stevenson remains for many an apologist for the lost world of the romance. This is not only to misread and simplify his fiction, it is greatly to undervalue his lively, forward-looking literary essays. Strenously resisting the authority of the literary 'fathers' (though haunted by the complexities of paternity), Stevenson reveals strong affinities with emergent Modernism. It is from this perspective that Alan Sandison's latest book (the first to appear for nearly thirty years) conducts a lively and readable re-examination of this often underrated writer.
