A Robert Louis Stevenson Chronology

by J. Hammond

Overview

Stevenson died at the age of 44, but despite such a short span he lived an incredibly active life during which he travelled widely and wrote a prodigious amount of fiction, essays and poetry. To browse through this Chronology is to follow in the footsteps of a man who was always on the move, always eager to journey onto the next place or to embark on a new literary project. J.R. Hammond, a lifelong student of Stevenson and author of A Robert Louis Stevenson Companion, offers a definitive chronology of RLS which takes account of the latest research into his life and times.
