| The adventure story told in Treasure Island has become a part of popular folklore. John Sutherland discusses the novelâ s place in Stevensonâ s biography and oeuvre in his learned and lively critical introduction to this new edition. Exploring the novelâ s genesis in Stevensonâ s â plunderingâ of other writers, his writerâ s block, and the surprisingly disturbing and complex nature of what was meant to be a childrenâ s story, Sutherland argues for the enduring vitality and appeal of Stevensonâ s first novel. Appendices include Stevensonâ s writing about the novel, contemporary reviews, and sources on which Stevenson drew (or from which he borrowed) when writing Treasure Island. |
