Stevenson Robert Louis
Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
London: Longman Green and Co 1886. First edition first issue with the publication date on the upper wrapper altered by hand of Stevenson's classic book. Octavo original wrappers advertisements. In very good condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell and chemise box. First editions in the original wrappers are rare. "If Bram Stoker's Dracula leaves one with the sensation of having been struck down by a massive 400-page wall of horror then Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is like the sudden mortal jab of an ice pick" Stephen King. Leaping to life out of a "fine bogey dream" from which the author's wife abruptly awakened him Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde proved "immediately and lastingly Stevenson's most famous story" Baugh et al. 1499. "Published as a 'shilling shocker' a form at that time in fashion it became instantly popular; was quoted from a thousand pulpits; was translated into German French and Danish; and the names of its two chief characters have passed into the common stock of proverbial allusion" DNB. "It is a Faustian moral fable which takes the form of a tale of mystery and horror. It is the prototype of all stories of multiple personality transformation and possession. The psychological power of the writing including Jekyll's agonies is patent" Clute & Nicholls 1165. "When we thrill to the shock and horror of the story I think it is because we all at least to some degree have been torn by Jekyll's internal conflict. When we recoil in terror from the selfish savagery of Mr. Hyde I think it is because we fear our own secret selves" Jack Williamson. It is the basis for many adaptations to the screen most notably in 1931 starring Fredric March and in 1941 featuring Spencer Tracy Ingrid Bergman and Lana Turner. Longman, Green, and Co unknown books

The letter reads "Dear Miss Guiney I have waited long upon the muse for I thought your song should be answered in kind. But I must wait no longer and the verses refuse to come. Let me then thank you in prose for your book which I have read with pleasure and for your poem which gave me genuine pride. It is a strange thing to hear one's name from across all these waters so beautifully set to song. Robert Louis Stevenson. Skerryvore Bournemouth." The recipient of the letter Louise Imogen Guiney was an Irish-American poet and a cataloger at the Boston Public Library. In 1895 she and Alice Brown published a biography of Robert Louis Stevenson.

The entire piece measures 19.5 inches by 27 inches. Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist poet essayist and travel writer.
