ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON ANTHOLOGY
FORTUNATE VOYAGER
A CELEBRATION OF ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
Residents
of the New Town are well acquainted with Robert Louis Stevenson, who famously
spent much of his childhood living at 17 Heriot Row. Indeed, it was behind the
gates of the central Queen Street gardens that Stevenson played as a child, and
where, according to folklore, he first imagined what would ultimately become Treasure
Island.
Readers may be interested to learn that a new anthology, Fortunate Voyager: A Celebration of Robert Louis Stevenson, is to be published later this year. A collection of personal and academic essays celebrating Stevenson’s enduring influence, and with over 60 authors, including Ian Rankin and Val McDermid, the anthology explores a number of important themes including travel, Stevenson’s relationship with Scotland, and the breadth and scope of his literary contributions.
The anthology is being produced by Merchiston Publishing in collaboration with the RLS Club, which is dedicated to fostering interest in Stevenson and his work world-wide. Merchiston Publishing is the imprint of the Scottish Centre for the Book based at Edinburgh Napier University, run by students on the MSc in Publishing.
The anthology is expected to be available for purchase later this year. In the meantime, those interested can follow the team behind the anthology on Twitter (@RLSAnthology) or the project website.
