Robert Louis Stevenson was one of the finest and most delightful of letter writers. This is one of a set of eight volumes containing his collected letters. The edition contains nearly 2800 letters. Volumes V and VI cover the period from July 1884 to September 1890.
Bradford A. Booth, who was professor of English at the University of California at Los Angeles and who died in 1968, originated this project. Ernest Mehew, who has worked on this edition for more than twenty-five years, is widely recognized as the leading authority on Stevenson's life and work.
