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.

Listening to the voices in his head, or, as he used to express it, to “follow the soliciting of the little people, the Brownies”, who kept on whispering during his dreams, Robert Louis Stevenson ventured to create some stories that are unlike most tales of his time still quite prominent today. Amongst his greatest works reside the marvellous adventures the famous Scotsman bore on paper. One of these wonderful novels, every man in this world should have read as a kid, is Treasure Island . This is a tale that has to be devoured with a mind devoid of adult perspicacity and grown-up serenity but with childlike imagination still far from being rationalized.

Robert Louis Stevenson and the Fin-De-Siècle Vampire “Olalla” (1885) As ‘Aesthetic Fantastic’ Angelo Riccioni Università Degli Studi Di Napoli Parthenope, Italia
e-ISSN 2420-823X English Literature Vol. 7 – December 2020 Robert Louis Stevenson and the Fin-de-Siècle Vampire “Olalla” (1885) as ‘Aesthetic Fantastic’ Angelo Riccioni Università degli Studi di Napoli Parthenope, Italia Abstract “Olalla” (1885) by Robert Louis Stevenson has usually been neglected by critics interested in late-Victorian culture. Preceding of just a few weeks the publica- tion of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), this novella has been judged as a derivative work, a story whose interest lies in its different sources, ranging from Edward Bulwer Lytton’s A Strange Story to E.A. Poe’s tales. My analysis aims to prove that in writing this work, Stevenson is probably drawing inspiration from the imagery exploited by some members of the Aesthetic Movement, among them Walter Pater and Edward Burne-Jones.

Its characteristics changed accordingly, most often to reflect the state of the society, and mainly its concerns and anxieties. Gloomy settings, supernatural phenomena, concepts of sublimity, uncanniness, abhumaness, the doppelgänger theme, the combination of terror and horror; these are just some of the genre‟s characteristics which add to its potential to act as a metaphorical mirror of society‟s struggles. Robert Louis Stevenson professes himself as a writer during the second half of the nineteenth century. His works encompass a variety of literary forms such as poetry, prose and essays, and his profuseness can also be observed in the style and the themes he uses.

In dealing with Categories Two and Three, I have drawn heavily for source material on the literary period icals and the trade publications of the time. For the facts about Stevenson's business relations with American publishers I have consulted a large body of unpublished correspondence that tells the whole story. I have had free access to, and have permission to quote from, three sizeable collections of unpublished letters which shed considerable light on Stevenson's American business affairs.

Robert Louis Stevenson: So Near, Yet So Far
Grace in the Arts: ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON: SO NEAR, YET SO FAR JAMES TOWNSEND Bible Editor Cook Communications Elgin, IL I. Introduction The only occasion as a child when I nearly stayed up all night long was when I had gotten behind on the deadline for my elementary school book report. Thankfully, the book I had chosen was riveting, adventure- filled, and unforgettable. It was Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. To this day the tap-tap-tapping of Blind Pew’s cane, as he approached the lonely-locationed Admiral Benbow Inn, is etched on my mind. Many seminary graduates who have received a traditional evangeli- cal education are familiar with the name of Alexander Whyte, the Scot who wrote two volumes on Bible Characters. Whyte had been introduced to Robert Louis Stevenson’s books by a man named Patrick Campbell. Campbell was present one evening when young Alexander Whyte was introduced to the father and mother of Stevenson. “I can never forget the astonishment of the father when he heard the unstinted praises of his son from [this] serious-minded young clergyman,” said Campbell.1 Was the famed Stevenson a Christian? How did the Bible influence his writings? These and related spiritual issues will be surveyed in this article. II. Literary Laurels One measure of greatness is the appraisal given by contemporaries in one’s own field of specialization. If that is the case, then the tributes paid 1Patrick W. Campbell in I Can Remember Robert Louis Stevenson ed. by Rosaline Masson (Edinburgh: W. and R. Chambers, Limited, 1922), 15.

Walter Scott and Short Fiction
PERFORMING ROBERT BURNS ‘This book is a reminder that experiencing Burns has always been as much a voice or an event as pages in a book. In our time, as in his own, Burns is encountered as recitation, on stage and screen, in speeches, preeminently as song, and in the drama and debates surrounding new discoveries and new editions. Contributors to this imaginative new interdisciplinary collection bridge the divide between performers and scholars, with readable but authoritative short essays that will spark interest in all Burnsians and open up new directions for Burns research.’ Patrick Scott, University of South Carolina Examines representations of Robert Burns and his work in a wide range of performance modes This book opens up fresh aspects of performance and performativity and their impact on our perception of Robert Burns and his work. Bringing together leading experts on music, song, drama, public ceremonial and literature, it studies Burns as a performed and performative construct. It explores ways in which he is encountered as a living author, setting the popularity of his poetry and songs in the context of his representation in popular and Gerard Carruthers Edited by Ian Brown culture.

Interviews with Borges. Buenos Aires, August-September 1978
Daniel Balderston, Interviews with Borges. Buenos Aires, August-September 1978 First conversation with Borges: 8 August 1978 DB: I would like to talk to you about your long-standing interest in Robert Louis Stevenson … JLB: Ah, well. I think of Stevenson as a major writer. And I think that in a sense Chesterton was begotten by him. For example if you take the Father Brown Saga, and even if you take The Man Who Was Thursday and The Man Who Knew Too Much, though the plots may be better than Stevenson's plots, the whole thing happens in the same city, a kind of fairy London and that fairy London was invented or discovered by Stevenson when he wrote the New Arabian Nights around 1880. Steven- son invented the whole thing. If you take The Suicide Club, for example, or even The Rajah's Diamond which isn't as fine, you already are in Chesterton's London. And besides I think that Stevenson wrote finer English than Chesterton. Chesterton was sometimes rather blatant. He wrote at the top of his voice. With Stevenson, well, what he writes is more delicate, and there's a certain wistfulness about him, while in the case of Chesterton you may find Catholic propaganda or … DB: As in the case of Chesterton's book about Stevenson, which starts out very well, but ends as propaganda. JLB: That is a fine book. I think that those books that Chesterton wrote on other writers are very fine books … But Stevenson was a great writer. I wonder why he's disregarded today.

'On the Rack': Shame and Imperialism in Robert Louis Stevenson
‘On the rack’: Shame and Imperialism in Robert Louis Stevenson Roland Alexander Sydney, Australia B.A. & LLB. University of Melbourne, 2008 A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Research School of the University of New South Wales in Candidacy of the Degree of Masters of Arts by Research School of the Arts & Media Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences University of New South Wales August 2015 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Alexander First name: Roland Other name/s: Hugh Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: Masters of Arts by Research (MRES) School: School of the Arts & Media Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Title: 'On the rack': Shame and Imperialism in Robert Louis Stevenson Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Shame features prominently in the writing of Robert Louis Stevenson yet it has not previously been the subject of a major study. This affect and its nuances reach back into the childhood and heritage of the writer, and forward through his most iconic novels to his stories of the South Seas (especially The Beach of Falesa and The Ebb-Tide) that are the focus of this investigation. The thesis argues that Stevenson uses shame as a tool to critique attitudes to imperialism in his fiction writing of the South Seas. It shows, first, that he had a particular understanding of shame, conscious and unconscious, that was informed by both his personal experience of shame and his ideas on the role of emotion in literature - what may be called 'Stevensonian Shame'.
