Robert Louis Stevenson and Nineteenth-Century French Literature: Literary Relations at the Fin De Siecle

Katherine Ashley

This study looks at French literature from Stevenson’s perspective and at Stevenson from a French perspective. Shedding light on how Stevenson’s use of French contributes to his distinct style, and how and why the earliest French critics translated, disseminated and interpreted his books, it does so in the context of the debates surrounding the development of the novel at the fin de siecle. Readers learn how the artistic debates taking place in France contributed to the evolution of Stevenson’s art, but also how Stevenson became a model of literary innovation for French authors and critics who were seeking to renew the French novel.
