When a single spot is left illuminating the chest, the music comes to a crashing climax and quickly subsides to continue playing in the background. With the musical climax, the lid of the chest opens with a horrifying groan. Light starts to emanate from the chest, and the spotlight dims. Voices and the sounds of action begin to issue forth from the chest. The music continues underneath.)

GREENE APPROVED: Dissertation Committee: Major Professor Carolyn Betensky Ryan Trimm William Krieger Nasser H. Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2016 ABSTRACT EXQUISITE CLUTTER: MATERIAL CULTURE AND THE SCOTTISH REINVENTION OF THE ADVENTURE NARRATIVE BY REBEKAH C. GREENE Exquisite Clutter examines the depiction of material culture in adventures written by Scottish authors Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, and John Buchan. Throughout, these three authors use depictions of material culture in the adventure novel to begin formulating a critique about the danger of becoming overly comfortable in a culture where commodities are widely available. In these works, objects are a way to examine the complexities of character and to more closely scrutinize a host of personal anxieties about contact with others, changing societal roles, and one’s own place in the world.

I will leave out nothing except the location of the island—for there is still treasure there. I go back in time to the 1700’s. This is when my father still ran the Admiral Benbow Inn. And this is the same year the old sailor came into the inn, carrying a battered old sea chest. He was a tall, rough-looking man, brown as a nut. His hands were scarred.

Lighthouse design was his father's and his family's profession, so at age seventeen, he enrolled at Edinburgh University to study engineering, with the goal of following in the family business. Lighthouse design never appealed to Stevenson, though, and he began studying law instead. His spirit of adventure truly began to appear at this stage, and during his summer vacations he traveled to France to be around young writers and painters.

    TREASURE ISLAND Reimagined! Based on the book by Robert Louis Stevenson SYNOPSIS Act I (50 minutes) Ahoy, Mateys! Join Jim Hawkins, Ben Gunn, Long John Silver, and the whole crew as they tell the classic story Treasure Island in an original and exciting version debuting at Dallas Children’s Theater! The play begins with Jim and Ben simultaneously telling their stories. Although their stories begin ten years apart, they were both deceived as young boys by the same scurvy pirate, Long John Silver. Year: 1871 Ben Gunn needs work after being abandoned by his father. He hears about a potential job working on Captain Flint’s pirate ship. Ben is dismayed when turned down by Flint, but soon meets Long John Silver who brings Ben on board Flint’s boat as the cabin boy. Year: 1881 Jim Hawkins and his friends are playing pirates when they are approached by an actual pirate, Billy Bones! Billy, protecting a chest he’s brought with him, tells the kids about Captain Flint’s lost treasure, the fifteen pirates who died burying it, and the pirate they need to beware of: the man with one-leg. When Jim’s mother approaches them, Billy asks for a room in the Hawkins’ inn. As she prepares his room, Billy warns Jim to look out for the one-legged man. That night, Jim has nightmares about a giant one-legged man. Year: 1871 Ben Gunn and Long John Silver sit together on the ship, looking at the stars. Long John tells Ben about the importance of constellations and the story of how proud Orion defeated every dangerous creature the gods sent his way until the gods sent a scorpion that killed Orion.

During a birthday celebration at the Admiral Benbow Inn, a crusty pirate named Billy Bones is killed by another pirate. When young Jim Hawkins discovers that Billy Bones had a treasure map, the adventure is on. Enlisting the aid of a sea captain named Smollette, Jim, along with the Squire, the Doctor and others hire a group of sailors to help them with the difficult sea voyage to Treasure Island. Of course, some of the sailors they hire turn out to be Long John Silver and his band of pirates who have plans to mutiny and steal the treasure for themselves. During the voyage, however, Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver become friends. Mrs. Hawkins, Jim’s mother, also takes a liking to the wooden-legged Silver. Jim eventually finds out about the pirates’ plot and alerts the others. After arriving at Treasure Island, the pirates nonetheless leave the adventurers to fend for themselves on board ship as they embark to the island in search of the treasure.
