Prince Otto: New Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Works of Robert Louis

Editat de Robert P Irvine
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 apr 2014
Prince Otto Edited by Robert P. Irvine A playful, self-reflexive tale of politics and ethics. In Prince Otto, first published in serial form in 1885, Stevenson uses his genius for adventure and romance to explore some decidedly grown-up themes. The tiny German state of Grünewald seems to be a principality of the world of fairy-tale. But its ruler is beset in public by the forces of modern politics, and troubled in private by an unhappy marriage. Ill-prepared to deal with either, Otto is forced to choose between them. Key Features: * This first fully edited edition of the novel will provoke readers to think again about the scope and purpose of Stevenson's brilliant story-telling * Explores the most modern of themes, the moral compromises required by marriage: a romance in which the marriage of the hero and the heroine is not the happy conclusion of the plot, but the problem that the plot has to resolve * A fascinating text for what it tells us about Stevenson's goals and aspirations at this crucial stage of his career, and about the changing nature of the novel in English at the end of the nineteenth-century Robert P. Irvine is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of English Literature at the University of Edinburgh. He has edited Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice for Broadview Press and The Edinburgh Anthology of Scottish Literature in 2 volumes for Kennedy and Boyd. He is the author of Jane Austen (Routledge, 2005) and Enlightenment and Romance: Gender and Agency in Smollett and Scott (Peter Lang, 2000).
