Notes
General Note
"The changes for this third edition are a reversion to the original title of the 1886 edition, an update of the introduction on criticism, the addition of two more letters by Robert Louis Stevenson, and a new Appendix on the Victorian gentleman."--Preface to the third edition, page 9.
Bibliography
Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-230).
Description
"First published in 1886 as a 'shilling shocker, ' 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' takes the basic struggle between good and evil and adds to the mix bourgeois respectability, urban violence, and class conflict. The result is a tale that has taken on the force of myth in the popular imagination. This Broadview edition provides a selection of contextual material, including contemporary reviews of the novel, Stevenson's essay 'A Chapter on Dreams, ' and excerpts from the 1887 stage version of 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. Also included are historical documents on criminality and degeneracy, the 'Jack the Ripper' murders, the 'double brain' and London in the 1880s."--Back cover.
