"Would Stevenson have become a “ Sir ” if he had not gone to the South Seas, and had lived until literary knighthoods were in flower, thanks, perhaps, to the initiative of the Premier Lord Rosebery ?" (James Milne, The Memoirs of a Bookman)

Preparing for Friday's @arvonfoundation masterclass & thinking about this wonderful quote from @RLSte Art of Fiction. 'Some places speak distinctly. Certain dank gardens cry aloud for a murder; certain old houses demand to be haunted; certain coasts are set apart for shipwrecks'

Thank you @carlacmanfredi for a generous review in @VictStudies, bringing my book on #RLS into illuminating conversation with the work of @AudreyMurfin as together we challenge 'the myth of Stevenson as a solitary writer'.

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!
