While we are on the subject: what's the best adaptation of Kidnapped? (Or least worst, if that's your take!)
And he did!We don't get to hear what RLS made of Hardy, but Fanny Stevenson described him as 'a pale, gentle, frightened little man, that one felt an instinctive tenderness for'. Hardy's own memeories of the meeting can be read here: tinyurl.com/7v2dd3e5

It's rare for a single conference to have such an impact on an entire field of study. The proceedings remain an essential book for anyone working on Stevenson. Bliss, I'm sure, it was to be in that dawn!

I hope some of you caught this: it's as cracking as you would expect. Is it the best RLS adaptation? Probably!

An interesting consideration of 'Markheim'. But I would have to quibble with characterising Stevenson as an atheist. - DM

Invaluable!
Had a go at generating a list (with the help of JM Ockerbloom's serials list) of 19th-c. British periodicals freely accessible online. Ain't much but it's a start. Please feel free to DM me with suggested additions or revisions. victorianresearch.org/openac…
WorldCat, it seems, can be misleading. Still, a lovely edition and the connection to Flora Robson is very interesting.
Elizabeth Robson says her family’s copy is one of only two in existence in the UK – the other belonging to the British Library.

We somehow managed to miss this last week. A superb piece.
If you have time on a #Saturday, here's an interesting short article by Gerald Roberts, on 2 Victorian Exiles— Gerard Manley Hopkins & Robert Louis Stevenson. The fact that both can be seen as "men of their time" tells a lot about the variety of the age!

Write Around the World with @RichardEGrant has been a lovely series - we particularly recommend episode 2, which has a wonderful account of Stevenson's 'Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes'.
