The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Stevenson's famous exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil, has become synonymous with the idea of a split personality. More than a moral tale, this dark psychological fantasy is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution, criminality, and secret lives.
This edition also includes three of Stevenson's short stories: 1) The Body Snatcher - which charts the murky underside of Victorian medical practice, 2) Markheim - where a murderer meets a sinister smiling stranger, 3) The Bottle Imp - explores the risky business of making a pact with the devil, and 4) The Weir of Hermison - a brilliant autobiographical portrayal of a father-son relationship.
