		Stevenson's desire to please the people he cared for had prompted him to undertake the study of law in 1871, but his principal enthusiasm was writing.
		Stevenson resembled Scott (who was lame) in having a physical infirmity that caused him to love adventure, and in enjoying the study of Scottish history, an interest Stevenson incorporated in several of his best-known works.
		Stevenson's broad appeal compensated for the lack of depth and substance that some critics noted in his writing.

	Life of Robert Louis Stevenson by Alexander Harvey. Stevenson, Robert Louis. 1913. A Child’s Garden of Verses and ...
		The family of Stevenson is associated as intimately with the history of lighthouses as is the family of M’Cormick with the invention and exploitation of the reaper.
		The parental Stevenson began at this point to divert his attention from the luminous field of his parabolic reflectors to those sterile regions of fancy and imagination in which his child was running riot.
		To Thomas Stevenson, immersed in the subject of wave propagation and reduction and prone to perusal of “The Parent’s Assistant,” his only son’s industry over an epic in imitation of Browning’s “Sordello” or a tragedy in the Elizabethan style was a matter of dubiety.

		Stevenson was an atheist and free spirit whose Bohemian lifestyle brought him in contact with troubadours and misfits, who provided inspiration for many of his characters.
		Despite his parents' disapproval, Stevenson followed Fanny to America (nearly dying on the journey), and persuaded her to divorce her husband and marry him.
		For Stevenson, it should have been a time to enjoy his paradise idyll, but, in 1894, he died, ironically from a brain hemorrhage rather than the lung problems which had beset him throughout his life.

		Stevenson spent the better part of each day writing, but he also joined in the life of the steerage passengers as if he were one of them, and because of the filth to which he was exposed or because of nervous strain, he developed a maddening itch on his hands and lost fourteen pounds.
		Stevenson enjoyed an occasional meal there, and whenever he had a little money he returned their hospitality with a dinner at one of the many small, good, and inexpensive restaurants for which San Francisco was already famous.
		Stevenson bought the bread and, as he wrote, “returned up the trail, a breathing wreck, the mere offal of myself.” Since the hay had not arrived, there was nothing to do but settle their bones against the cold, bare wooden boards of the bunks and make the best of it.

	Robert Louis Stevenson Biography
		Thomas Stevenson was quite a storyteller himself, and his wife doted on their only child, sitting in admiration while her precocious son expounded on religious dogma.
		Thomas Stevenson insisted that the young man study law, and his son stuck to the bargain long enough to receive, in 1875, a law degree he barely used.
		Stevenson maintained that his art, his life, and his mode of creation were all in some part derivative of the highly exaggerated and romantic world that he had inherited from Skelt's toy.

	[No title]
		Although Drew was not the star of the film, per se (although Craven offered her the lead, she turned it down), she WAS the biggest name attached to the project – which made the fact that she's killed off almost as soon as the audience is seated all the more surprising.
		Drew appears to come by this naturally, since it's a characteristic of hers dating back to the E.T. Days – and I really don't think she was working the mirror for hours at six.
		Drew is quirky, no doubt – but quirky in a “still acts like a college coed at 28” sense, not in the “bathes daily in a lukewarm stew of horse placentas and olive oil” sense.

		Stevenson, who had helped his party return to the White House, was rewarded, not with the office of secretary of state that he wanted, but with appointment as ambassador to the United Nations.

		Soon Stevenson was deeply in love, and on his return to Edinburgh he wrote her a series of letters in which he played the part first of lover, then of worshipper, then of son.
		One of the several names by which Stevenson addressed her in these letters was "Claire," a fact that many years after his death was to give rise to the erroneous notion that Stevenson had had an affair with a humbly born Edinburgh girl of that name.
		Stevenson's parents' horror at their son's involvement with a married woman subsided somewhat when she returned to California in 1878, but it revived with greater force when Stevenson decided to join her in August 1879.

		Stevenson had a close relationship with Cousins, and repeatedly drew on him for political advice and campaign speeches.
		Strauss viewed this as “a windfall in view of the headway which Stevenson had made with the issue during the campaign,” and suggested that “if carefully handled, the note could be turned to considerable advantage.” Working with Dulles and, later, with Eisenhower and other officials, Strauss helped produce a withering public response.
		Although Stevenson was edged out for the Democratic presidential nod that year, he was appointed by the victorious Democrat, John F. Kennedy, as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
