The first journey to America was a watershed in his thinking and his relationship with the labouring masses and was followed by a desire for more 'realism' and by his experiments with popular genres.

Ch. 3: Stevenson's Pacific travels; Ch. 4: Stevenson's Pacific fictions; Ch. 5: Stevenson's Pacific History. Smith makes an interesting case for Stevenson as a figure embodying Victorian ideas of 'romantic authorship,' and shows how RLS occupies a space between metropolitan and colonial cultures.; more about this volume]
