I use the words "intro­ versionll and lIextroversion" partly in a geographical sense. George Gissing, for example, in spite of Continental in­ fluences remained a very English (in some ways almost insular) novelist, and in that sense an introvert. Edmund Gosse, on the other hand, WaS a very cosIDopolitan critic although his style was typically English. Robert Louis Stevenson provides a third angle. Having been born in Edinburgh he was forced into exile for most of his life, and obviously this had a great effect on his writings. Of the three writers most weight is given to Edmund Gosse. In my analysis of George Gissing I concentrate on some of his best known novels, The Unclassed, The Nether World, New Grub Street and Born in Exile. The Emancipated and By the Ionian Sea deal specifically with Italy. - There are four chapters on Edmund Gosse. The first concentrates on the early part of his long career when his main interest was Scandinavian literature. The next two chapters give an account of his im­ pressions of and writings on America and France. In the fourth chapter on Edmund Gosse I concentrate on the part of his career when he had become an established authority on his own country'f literature. Robert Louis Stevenson, too, is dealt with in' four chapters. First I write briefly about His Scottish works, all inspired by his childhood and youth. Next I deal with his two favourite countries, France and the United States, both associated with his Wife, Fanny. The last chapter follows Stevenson to the South Seas where he spent the last few years of his life and wrote some of his best books. The three writers are compared from time to time. Robert Louis Stevenson and Edmund Gosse knew each other well; George Gissing is the odd man out. But his reaction to foreign influences differs from that of the other two and this makes a comparison very interesting.

I am grateful for all the help given to me by my family, especially my Mother, Lis Stepputat, and my Grandmother, Johanne Pedersen. They have displayed extra­ ordinary patience and encouragement without which I could not have completed this thesis. In St. Andrews I owe a great deal to Dr. R. P. Doig. He supervised my B.Phil. thesis when I first came to Scotland, and apprOximately the first half of my Ph.D. course. His help and guidance in all matters have been greatly appreciated. I am also very grateful to Dr. C. J.~MacLachlan, who bravely took over the supervision of my thesis. I have greatly benefited from his alert criticism. I must say a special thank you to the University Library of st. Andrews. Apart from providing me with my "tools", the staff here have also been my colleagues. All have helped me and listened to me for over five years! In addition I must express my gratitude towards Professor R. Crawford and St. Leonard's College for providing me with a study during the vital final stages of this thesis. Furthermore, I have benefited from the presence of many scholars, students and staff. Among them Dr. R. G. Cant, who has been a great source of information about anything Scottish. I also acknowledge the assistance of the British Library (Reference Division) and Cambridge University Library. The National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh as well as Edinpurgh University Library have been particularly helpful and it has always been a great pleasure to study there. Last but not least I am grate­ ful to the Reading Room staff of the Royal Library in Copenhagen, who have always been friendly and often amusing.

They often impinge on works of literature; this is sometimes re­ cognized although the connections have rarely been studied. In this thesis three Victorian writers are subjected to scrutiny, Robert Louis Stevenson, Ed~und Gosse and George Gissing. In the title of this work the terms "introversion II and "extroversion" are applied to the question of nationalism. I am not primarily concerned with psychology although my use of the terms cannot, of course, exclude that aspect. No doubt nationalism and patriotism are in many ways intimately related to the general psychological make-up of a writer. My main concern is to see how the three writers view t~eir own country and other countries, and also to demonstrate how this is reflected in their works. All three could be said to be collectively representative of the late nineteenth century but each of them was perhaps too unusual to be labelled a typical Victorian, with the possible exception of Edmund Gosse. They travelled extensively and all received imDortant Notes on p. 327 2 stimuli from abroad. Best documented are the travels of Robert Louis stevenson, who died on Samoa in the Pacific. As a young man he travelled widely in Europe and later he went on a famous cross-continental tour of the United States (The Amateur Emigrant) before embarking on his Pacific adventures. Wherever he went stevenson put his impressions into books. Even the surroundings of his honeymoon were turned to literary use in The Silverado Sauatters. A characteristic feature of stevenson's globe-trotting was his search for health. l ) Having escaped the dampness of his be­ loved Scotland, he went to live in Bournemouth, and when his father died he left the United Kingdom for good, except in spirit. The movements of George Gissing have received less attention. His clashes with the establishment made him more mysterious. Gissing too, starved in the United States, and later he visited the places of classical civilization, Italy and Greece. George Gissing died in France where he had settled down with Gabrielle Fleury. Edmund Gosse went to the United States in greater style than Stevenson or Gissing. Towards the end of l88~ when he sailed, he was already a respected and known literary critic. For a few months he travelled in eastern United States on an extremely successful lecture tour, not completely dissimilar to Dickens's experiences some years earlier. In the l870s Edmund Gosse had visited the Scandinavian countries and had reported his impressions in several articles. He grew very fond of France, went there often; in fact he had been to France shortly before his death.

  • TRAVEL and ADVENTURE in the WORKS of ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON by Mahmoud Mohamed Mahmoud Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department
    TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE IN THE WORKS OF ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON by Mahmoud Mohamed Mahmoud Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Scottish Literature University of Glasgow. JULY 1984 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my deepest sense of indebtedness and gratitude to my supervisor, Alexander Scott, Esq., whose wholehearted support, invaluable advice and encouragement, penetrating observations and constructive criticism throughout the research have made this work possible; and whose influence on my thinking has been so deep that the effects, certainly, will remain as long as I live. I wish also to record my thanks to my dear wife, Naha, for her encouragement and for sharing with me a considerable interest in Stevenson's works. Finally, my thanks go to both Dr. Ferdous Abdel Hameed and Dr. Mohamed A. Imam, Department of English Literature and Language, Faculty of Education, Assuit University, Egypt, for their encouragement. SUMMARY In this study I examine R.L. Stevenson as a writer of essays, poems, and books of travel as well as a writer of adventure fiction; taking the word "adventure" to include both outdoor and indoor adventure. Choosing to be remembered in his epitaph as the sailor and the hunter, Stevenson is regarded as the most interesting literary wanderer in Scottish literature and among the most intriguing in English literature. Dogged by ill- health, he travelled from "one of the vilest climates under heaven" to more congenial climates in England, the Continent, the States, and finally the South Seas where he died and was buried. Besides, Stevenson liked to escape, especially in his youth, from the respectabilities of Victorian Edinburgh and from family trouble, seeking people and places whose nature was congenial to his own Bohemian nature.

  • Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796
    Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796 By Thomas Lucius Lowish A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor Kinch Hoekstra Spring 2021 Abstract Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796 by Thomas Lucius Lowish Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor, Chair Historians of Russian monarchy have avoided the concept of sovereignty, choosing instead to describe how monarchs sought power, authority, or legitimacy. This dissertation, which centers on Catherine the Great, the empress of Russia between 1762 and 1796, takes on the concept of sovereignty as the exercise of supreme and untrammeled power, considered legitimate, and shows why sovereignty was itself the major desideratum. Sovereignty expressed parity with Western rulers, but it would allow Russian monarchs to bring order to their vast domain and to meaningfully govern the lives of their multitudinous subjects. This dissertation argues that Catherine the Great was a crucial figure in this process. Perceiving the confusion and disorder in how her predecessors exercised power, she recognized that sovereignty required both strong and consistent procedures as well as substantial collaboration with the broadest possible number of stakeholders. This was a modern conception of sovereignty, designed to regulate the swelling mechanisms of the Russian state. Catherine established her system through careful management of both her own activities and the institutions and servitors that she saw as integral to the system.

PREFACE AND DEDICATION In so small a volume it would be somewhat hopeless to attempt an exhaustive notice of R. L. Stevenson, nor would it be desirable. The only possible full biography of him will be the Life in preparation by his intimate friend Mr Sidney Colvin, and for it his friends and his public look eagerly. This little book is only a remini- scence and an appreciation by one who, in the old days between 1869 and 1880, knew him and his home circle well. My earlier and later knowledge has been derived from his mother and those other members of his mother's family with whom it was a pleasure to talk of him, and to exchange news of his sayings and doings. In the actual writing of this volume, I have received most kind help for which I return grateful thanks to the givers. For the verification of dates and a few other particulars I am indebted to Mr Colvin's able article in the Dictionary of National Biography.

  • Thomas Stevenson, Civil Engineer, 22.07.1818 – 08.05.1887
    Thomas Stevenson, Civil Engineer, 22.07.1818 – 08.05.1887 Thomas Stevenson was the youngest son of engineer Robert Stevenson 1771-1850, designer of the Bell Rock and Isle of May Lighthouses, and the brother of engineers Alan and David Stevenson. Between 1854 and 1886, Thomas designed over thirty lighthouses with both his brother David and nephew David Alan Stevenson. Thomas Stevenson’s greatest achievement was the designing of a revolving light which earned him an international reputation. In addition to his innovative work as a lighthouse and harbour engineer, Thomas Stevenson invented the Stevenson screen used in meteorology as a shelter to shield meteorological instruments to enable accurate weather measurements to be taken. Thomas married Margaret Isabella Balfour and their only son, Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson, was born in 1850. At about the age of eighteen, Robert changed the spelling of his middle name to Louis (pronounced Lewis). Expected to follow in his father’s footsteps and to join the family engineering business, R L Stevenson enrolled as an engineering student at Edinburgh University in November 1867. R L Stevenson spent the month of July 1868 in Anstruther observing as part of his engineering training, the work being carried out by the family firm of D & T Stevenson on Anstruther Harbour. He lodged with carpenter Baillie Brown in Cunzie House, Crail Road, opposite St Adrian's Church. A plaque on the side of the house records his stay. Stevenson wrote later: ‘though I haunted the breakwater by day, and even loved the place for the sake of the sunshine, the thrilling seaside air, the wash of waves on the sea-face, the green glimmer of divers’ helmets far below, the musical clinking of the masons, my one genuine preoccupation lay elsewhere’.
