With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Tim Middleton,Head of English Studies,University of Ripon and York.
In seeking to discover his inner self,the brilliant Dr Jekyll discovers a monster. First published to critical acclaim in 1886,this mesmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of man's nature,and it is the book which established Stevenson's reputation as a writer.
Also included in this volume is Stevenson's 1887 collection of short stories,The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables.
The Merry Men is a gripping Highland tale of shipwrecks and madness; Markheim,the sinister study of the mind of a murderer; Thrawn Janet,a spine-chilling tale of demonic possession; Olalla,a study of degeneration and incipient vampirism in the Spanish mountains; Will O'the Mill,a thought-provoking fable about a mountain inn-keeper; and The Treasure of Franchard,a study of French bourgeois life.
