The text that made Stevenson famous in a single blow: a detective novel, psychological case study, and the starting point for a modern myth that has been retold, filmed, and interpreted again and again. Two commentaries shine light on its form, the history of its development, and its intellectual, legal, and literary history contexts from the perspectives of law, criminology, and literary studies.
