A slightly used book with some blemishes and bent corners. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde | Wordsworth Collector's Edition | Hardcover Book In this powerful deconstruction of Calvinist belief and the hypocrisy at the heart of Victorian society, Stevenson creates a gothic icon in the divided self that is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. First published in 1886, this tragic study of the duality of man established Stevenson’s international reputation as an author. This volume also contains Stevenson’s 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables, which includes a further exploration of the mind of a murderer, ‘Markheim’, and the occult tales of terror, ‘The Merry Men’, ‘Olalla’, and ‘Thrawn Janet’.
