A REMARKABLE SPIRIT
Early Life or the Charming Writer.

REMARKABLE

| At the High School Friday evening
! Professor Rolfe, lecturer in the Univer-
sity Extension course, spoke on Robert
Louis Stevenson.
All his friends praise the spirit
that resided in this man. The door,
/ they tell us, was better than any of
/ his deeds, his art in living finer than
his art in writing; even more remark
able, even less easily to be analysed
and explained"
/ Robert Louis (Balfour) Stevenson
/ was born in Edinburgh, in the year
! 1880. For several generations the Ste
vensons had been distinguished light
/ house engineers, and he too, with his
fondness for a little of action, un-
doubleday would have taken up this
adventurous calling, if i'll health had
not prevented him. AS it was, he very
early turned his thoughts toward lit
erature. During his college years he
neglected all other work, but labored
unremittingly to acquire the art of
writing. Upon graduating he wished
10 make letters his formal profession
, but his father insisted upon his follow
ing less precarious occupation. and
| so he studied law. He practiced but
little. however. His thoughts con-
tinued TO be bent upon authorship, and
he deliberately avoided legal business,
! and devoted all his strength to win
ming place for himself among the
magazine writers of the day.
His life during these years of early
manhood was a very unsettled one. He
wao sometimes at home, sometimes
living with the art students of Paris or
Fontainbleau, and sometimes eXplOr-
ing out-of-rhe-way corners of Europe
He came TO America, too, during this
period. Out of these wanderings grew

attracted but little attention. It was
soon followed by. the Travels with a
Donkey in the Cevennes." And within
a few months the trip TO New York
and across the continent TO California
| furnished material for three volumes
more, The Amateur Emigrant,"
ACROSS the Plains" and "The Silver
ado Squatters. Only one of these,
however, was published at the time, so
| light was the encouragement afforded
him by the reception accorded to his
| earlier attempts.

Along with these books of travel the
critical reviews that were collected

| OF Men and Books" were being pro-
duced. and some of the charming eS-
| says contained in ''Virginibus Pueris-
que and Memoirs and Portraits. -
and also certain short stories OF re-
marhable excellence. Such writing
gould not fail 10 win the admiration OF
all real lovers Of literature, but some
thing Of a sturdier strain was required

public In 1883 Tin his thircy-third

Ostensibly only a boys book. |'Treas-
ure Island is in reality interesting 10
persons Of every age, if they care at
all for romantic fiction: and conse-
quently ii was a brilliant success from
the outset. After its publication every
thing that Stevenson chose TO write
was welcomed.
During the remaining twelve years
of his life eight other romances were
produced. together with another series
OF short tales. some further essays,
three volumes Of exquisite verse. and
certain less important works And all

1888 it seemed as if he must finally
euccumb. The resorts of the Alps and
of the Mediterranean, and the air of
our own Adirondacks and of Califor-
MIA all had failed to help him. and he
was in despair As a last resource he
determined to try the islands of the
South Seas. Here he found compare

made his home here, in Samoa. He
soon became the islanders warm

many important services. He lived
among them for about five years. and

SUBJECTS FOR ESSAYS
81. In what respects does Stevenson
as a writer of romance resemble Scott.
and in what does he differ from him?
y. Draw up brief abstract Of Ste
venson's views upon so-called real
ism" in fiction Consult the last three
essays in Memories and Portraits"
and also, if possible. the paper called
Plains.O Then examine one of his
own novels. and ask yourself how con-
sistently and successfully he has en-
bodied these views in it.
8. Compare Lambs "New Years
Eve" with Stevenson's ''Pulvis ct UNI
bra and GA Christmas Sermon" (both
in across the Plains'), and draw such
conclusions as You can concerning the
difference in nature of the two men.
ADDITIONAL SUBJECTS FOR
CLASS DISCUSSIONS
