Description

David Balfour, written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published in 2016, is a novel that presents the original text as it was written. This edition, distributed by Stanford University Press, is based on the manuscript at Harvard University's Houghton Library.

The book includes an introductory essay by Barry Menikoff, which restores the novel to its rightful place alongside another of Stevenson's works, and extensive notes and glossary that open up the political, cultural, and linguistic world of eighteenth-century Scotland for today's reader. The text is accompanied by striking color illustrations from N.C. Wyeth's original oil paintings created in 1924.

This edition offers a unique opportunity to experience Stevenson's writing as it was originally intended, making it an attractive choice for readers interested in the author's work and the historical context of his writing.
