Stevenson, Robert Louis: Myself and the Other Fellow: A Life of Robert Louis Stevenson.(Brief article)(Book review)
From: Biography
Date: 20060101
Author:Benfey, Christopher
Stevenson, Robert Louis Myself and the Other Fellow: A Life of Robert Louis Stevenson. Claire Harman. New York: HarperCollins, 2005. 503 pp. $29.95.
"As Claire Harman makes clear in her shrewd and sparkling biography, Stevenson remained something of a lamplighter. The perils of the night and the perils of the sea--along with the hazardous nightscape of the human psyche (the 'other fellow' of Harman's title)--were his great enduring themes."
Christopher Benfey. NYTBR, Nov. 6, 2005: 23.
