Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis (Balfour) Stevenson (13.11. 1850 – 3.12. 1894), bio je škotski romanopisac, pjesnik i putopisac te vodeći predstavnik neoromantizma u engleskoj književnost. Prilično su ga cijenili mnogi autori kao Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling i Vladimir Nabokov. Njegovi suvremenici-modernisti ga, međutim, nisu cijeli jer je bio popularan te nije pisao u njihovim uskim okvirima književnosti. Tek nedavno su kritičari počeli gledati na Stevensona kao nešto više od popularnog pisca, te ga smještati u kanon. Po struci je bio pravnik, ali se nikada nije profesionalno bavio pravom. Često je putovao, djelomično u potrazi za klimom koja bi izliječila njegovu tuberkulozu, od koje je i umro u dobi od 44 godine.
