"The web, then, or the pattern, a web at once sensuous and logical, an elegant and pregnant texture: that is style, that is the foundation of the art of literature"
(RLS, "On Some Technical Elements of Style in Literature", Contemporary Review 47 [April 1885])
Welcome to the RLS Website! - the most comprehensive web resource dedicated to Robert Louis Stevenson, designed for all: academics, school children and everybody interested in learning about RLS.
This is the place for information on Stevenson's life and works - and much more. RLS is not just the author of Treasure Island and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Search the site, and you’ll find he’s also a poet, a playwright, a Gothicist, a historian, an anthropologist, a Victorian, and a Postmodernist. In short, an outstanding modern writer, constantly experimenting.
Oh, and don’t forget to check out images not seen by the general public before, and our free book serialisation.
Special thanks to the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, who funded the site.
