Title
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
?He put the glass to his lips and drank at one gulp? his face became suddenly black and the features seemed to melt and alter? \n\nPublished as a ?shilling shocker?, Robert Louis Stevenson?s dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll?s strange association with ?damnable young man? Edward hyde; the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde?s true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity?s basest capacity for evil. The other stories in this volume also testify to Stevenson?s inventiveness within the Gothic tradition: ?Olalla?, a tale of vampirism and tainted family blood, and ?The Body Snatcher?, a gruesome fictionalization of the exploits of the notorious Burke and Hare. \n\nThis edition contains a critical introduction by Robert Mighall, which discusses class, criminality and the significance of the story?s London setting. It also includes an essay on the scientific contexts of the novel and the development of the idea of the Jekyll-and-Hyde personality.
