Always given to wandering, Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894), incorporated these adventures into much of his writing, especially his most famous work, Treasure Island. It was Stevenson’s topical matter of intrigue and the pirate’s life, which insured a secure audience for the writing. Stevenson also incorporated a sense of politics into his work, writing with deep feeling, the plight of 18th century Scotland. Other works include The New Arabian Nights and Kidnapped.
