    ——; — ! 92 STEVENSONIANA VIII ISLAND DAYS TO TUSITALA IN VAILIMA^ Clearest voice in Britain's chorus, Tusitala Years ago, years four-and-twenty. Grey the cloudland drifted o'er us, When these ears first heard you talking, When these eyes first saw you smiling. Years of famine, years of plenty, Years of beckoning and beguiling. Years of yielding, shifting, baulking, ' When the good ship Clansman ' bore us Round the spits of Tobermory, Glens of Voulin like a vision. Crags of Knoidart, huge and hoary, We had laughed in light derision. Had they told us, told the daring Tusitala, What the years' pale hands were bearing, Years in stately dim division. II Now the skies are pure above you, Tusitala; Feather'd trees bow down to love you 1 This poem, addressed to Robert Louis Stevenson, reached him at Vailima three days before his death. It was the last piece of verse read by Stevenson, and it is the subject of the last letter he wrote on the last day of his life. The poem was read by Mr. Lloyd Osbourne at the funeral. It is here printed, by kind permission of the author, from Mr. Edmund Gosse's ' In Russet and Silver,' 1894, of which it was the dedication. After the Photo by] [./.

  • A Tale of Two Tapa: Their History, Legend and Celebrity Ownership by Robert Louis Stevenson
    A TALE OF TWO TAPA: THEIR HISTORY, LEGEND AND CELEBRITY OWNERSHIP BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON ROGER G. SWEARINGEN Santa Rosa, California This article describes briefly and traces the 20th-century history of two tapa acquired by the Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) during his residence in Samoa from late 1889 until his death there on 3 December 1894. Neither has been known previously to scholars of Polynesian material culture, chiefly because the tapa have been valued for their associations with the famous author, not for their interest as artefacts of 19th-century Polynesia. As a result, they were collected and have been preserved and displayed by institutions with no special links to anthropology or the display of cultural artefacts: the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University, and Monterey State Historic Park, California. In addition, legends have developed about both tapa, telling how Stevenson himself got them and what their history has been since then. These legends not only reflect a natural human desire to enhance the value and interest of one’s possessions, mere ownership of an object by a famous person being less interesting, and less nourishing to one’s self-esteem, than ownership with a splendid and characteristic tale of its history as well. They also make the objects themselves available as symbols of 19th-century cross-cultural gestures of mutual respect: between Polynesians and non-Polynesians, between chiefs in one realm and the world’s famous in another and, finally, in the transfers during the 20th century from private to institutional ownership, between the world of wealth and the world of learning.

  • “Stories of Things Remote: (Re)Placing the Self in 19Th-Century Adventure Fiction”
    “Stories of Things Remote: (Re)Placing the Self in 19th-century Adventure Fiction” Timothy Scott Hayes A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Professor John McGowan Professor Laurie Langbauer Professor Timothy Marr Professor Jeanne Moskal Professor James Thompson ABSTRACT Timothy Scott Hayes: “Stories of Things Remote: (Re)Placing the Self in 19th-century Adventure Fiction” (Under the direction of John McGowan) In this dissertation, I argue that, rather than offering mere escapist distractions from their own troubled societies or simply reinforcing imperial ideologies, adventure novels by Melville, Stevenson, and Conrad directly explore the challenges of maintaining a stable self in the newly globalized spaces of the nineteenth century. Exploring the myriad possibilities of life in colonial spaces, these novels portray the struggles of European and American characters to adjust to the complex spaces of the colonial world. Departing from their relatively homogeneous societies in search of “adventure,” these characters must create new justifying narratives to explain their tenuous lives in the challenging environments that they encounter. Utilizing narrative theory as well as contemporary definitions of space, I analyze the harrowing realities that these novels often present about the costs of failed imperial ideologies and practices on individual selves. Embarking on their adventures with a strong belief in their own moral superiority, these novels‟ protagonists soon realize, often in shattering ways, that the new world they have entered openly resists the grand narratives they have come to believe.

  • Picturing Pleasure: Fanny Stevenson and Beatrice Grimshaw in the Pacific Islands
    Archived version from NCDOCKS Institutional Repository http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/ Picturing Pleasure: Fanny Stevenson and Beatrice Grimshaw in the Pacific Islands By: Heather Waldroup Abstract This article explores the travel writings, illustrated with photographs, of Fanny Stevenson and Beatrice Grimshaw, two 'lady travelers' who visited the Pacific Islands at the turn of the twentieth century. Although little critical attention has been paid to their books, these texts are significant contributions to the comparatively small archive ofEuro-American women's narratives of travel and encounter in the Pacific Islands from this period. Their representations of the Islands are at once conventional and unusual, and analysis of their texts adds significantly to the literature on women's travel writing, especially as the Pacific Islands are an underrepresented area in this field. Rather than producing generalized exoticist representations, their discussions of class, race, gender, and colonial politics are particular to the Pacific Islands, and illustrate various moments of contact at a key transition point in Pacific colonial history. Their use of photographs also forges a strong connection between their work and a longer history of image production by Westerners in the Pacific Islands. Using colonial history as a framework for exploration of class, race, and gender politics in the Pacific Islands, this essay argues that Stevenson and Grimshaw's works suggest ways that popular audiences may have experienced the Pacific Islands through word and image publications.
