Familiar Stories of Men and Books volumes focus on Robert Lewis Stevenson's essays published in the monthly press. One appeared in the New Quarterly, Macmillan's, and the rest in the Cornhill Magazine.Scroll in and view the photographs to understand what each individual book focuses on.
The studies are "familiar" in the sense of "informal" or "conversational" in style. However, they attempt to bring their subjects to life, often by creating novelistic characterizations of the men and addressing the books from the standpoint of an engaged reader rather than a scholarly critic.
At the same time, Robert Lewis Stevenson provides occasional footnotes citing his sources, so he is also concerned to be seen as a scholar. The essays are also noteworthy for combining the writers' moral and aesthetic assessments.
Familiar Stories of Men and Books is an excellent addition to your vintage Robert Lewis Stevenson collection or home library.
