Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850–3 December 1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet and travel writer, and a representative of Early life Stevenson was born Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson [At about 18, Stevenson changed the spelling of 'Lewis' to 'Louis', and in 1873 he dropped 'Balfour': Mehew (2004).] at 8 Howard Place, He entered the University of Edinburgh at 17, but soon discovered he had neither the scientific mind nor physical endurance to succeed as an engineer. When his father took him for a voyage he found—instead of being interested in lighthouse construction—that his mind was teeming with wonderful romances about the coast and islands which they visited. In 1871, he announced to his father his decision to pursue a life of letters. Though the elder Stevenson was naturally disappointed, Stevenson's mother eventually reported that he was "wonderfully resigned" to his son's choice. [Balfour, Graham. The Life of Robert Louis Stevenson. 12th ed. London: Metheun, 1913.] Wisely, young Robert decided he should take a law degree at the University of Edinburgh so that he would have a career to fall back on if he were not able to support himself financially through the sale of novels. In a poem he later wrote for Underwood's Magazine, he commented on his family's response to his decision, writing: Say not of me that weakly I declined Marriage and travels The next four years were spent mostly in travel and in search of a climate that would be more beneficial for his health. He made long and frequent trips to Stevenson and Fanny Vandegrift Osbourne met in France in 1876. A few months later, when she returned to her home in By December of 1879 he had recovered his health enough to continue to San Francisco, where for several months he struggled "all alone on forty-five cents a day, and sometimes less, with quantities of hard work and many heavy thoughts," [" In May, 1880, Stevenson married Fanny although, as he said, he was "a mere complication of cough and bones, much fitter for an emblem of mortality than a bridegroom." ["To P. G. Hamerton, Kinnaird Cottage, Pitlochry [July 1881] ," "The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson", Volume 1, .] With his new wife and her son, Lloyd, he travelled north of San Francisco to Napa Valley, and spent a summer Attempted settlement in Europe For the next seven years between 1880 and 1887 Stevenson searched in vain for a place of residence suitable to his state of health. He spent his summers at various places in Scotland and England, including Journey to the Pacific On the death of his father in 1887, Stevenson felt free to follow the advice of his physician to try a complete change of climate. He started with his mother and family for In June 1888, Stevenson chartered the yacht "Casco" and set sail with his family from San Francisco. The vessel "plowed her path of snow across the empty deep, far from all track of commerce, far from any hand of help." [Quoted from Stevenson's diary in Overton, Jacqueline M. " [http://www.gutenberg.org/files/15547/15547-h/15547-h.htm The Life of Robert Louis Stevenson for Boys and Girls] ". New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1933.] The salt sea air and thrill of adventure for a time restored his health; and for nearly three years he wandered the eastern and central Pacific, visiting important island groups, stopping for extended stays at the Hawaiian Islands where he became a good friend of King It was also from this period that one particular open letter stands as testimony to his activism and indignation at the pettiness of such 'powers that be' as a Presbyterian minister in Honolulu named Rev. Dr. Hyde. During his time in the Hawaiian Islands, Stevenson had visited Molokai and the leper colony there, shortly after the demise of Father Damien. When Dr. Hyde wrote a letter to a fellow clergyman speaking ill of Father Damien, Stevenson wrote a [http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/hst/biography/FatherDamien/Chap1.html scathing open letter] of rebuke to Dr. Hyde. Soon afterwards in April 1890 Stevenson left Sydney on the "Janet Nicoll" and went on his third and final voyage among the South Seas islands."The Cruise of the Janet Nichol Among the South Sea Islands", Mrs Robert Louis Stevenson, Last years In 1890 he purchased four hundred acres (about 1.6 square kilometres) of land in In addition to building his house and clearing his land and helping the natives in many ways, he found time to work at his writing. In his enthusiasm, he felt that "there was never any man had so many irons in the fire." [Letter to Sidney Colvin, January 3, 1892, "Vailima Letters", .] He wrote "The Beach of Falesa", "Catriona" (titled " For a time during 1894 Stevenson felt depressed; he wondered if he had exhausted his creative vein and completely worked himself out. He wrote that he had "overworked bitterly". [Letter to Sidney Colvin, December 1893, "Vailima Letters", .] He felt more clearly that, with each fresh attempt, the best he could write was "ditch-water". ["To W.E. Henley, [Trinity College, Cambridge, Autumn 1878] ," "The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson", Volume 1, .] He even feared that he might again become a helpless invalid. He rebelled against this idea: "I wish to die in my boots; no more Land of Counterpane for me. To be drowned, to be shot, to be thrown from a horse — ay, to be hanged, rather than pass again through that slow dissolution." [Letter to Sidney Colvin, May, 1892, "Vailima Letters", .] He then suddenly had a return of his old energy and he began work on " Without knowing it, he was to have his wish fulfilled. During the morning of 3 December 1894, he had worked hard as usual on "Weir of Hermiston". During the evening, while conversing with his wife and straining to open a bottle of wine, he suddenly exclaimed, "What's that!" He then asked his wife, "Does my face look strange?" and collapsed beside her. [Balfour, Graham (1906). "The Life of Robert Louis Stevenson." London: Methuen. 264. http://ia350627.us.archive.org/0/items/lifeofrobertloui00balfiala/lifeofrobertloui00balfiala_djvu.txt] He died within a few hours, probably of a cerebral haemorrhage, at the age of 44. The natives insisted on surrounding his body with a watch-guard during the night, and on bearing their Tusitala (Samoan for "Story Writer") upon their shoulders to nearby Mt Vaea and buried him on a spot overlooking the sea. A tablet was placed there, which bore the inscription of his 'Requiem', the piece he always had intended as his epitaph:cquote|"Under the wide and starry sky, Modern reception Stevenson was a celebrity in his own time, but with the rise of Bibliography For a detailed list see [http://dinamico.unibg.it/rls/biblio.htm bibliography] .

The labours of my sires, and fled the sea,
The towers we founded and the lamps we lit,
But rather say: In the afternoon of time
A strenuous family dusted from its hands
The sand of granite, and beholding far
Along the sounding coast its pyramids
And tall memorials catch the dying sun,
Smiled well content, and to this childish task
Around the fire addressed its evening hours.
