Mrs Jekyll and Cousin Hyde: The True Story Behind RLS''s Gothic Masterpiece

English

By (author): Jeremy Hodges

The hidden controversy and heartbreak behind Stevensons Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is revealed in this fascinating work of literary detection.

What was the real reason Robert Louis Stevenson dedicated his dark masterpiece to his cousin Katharine de Mattos?

Why was Katharines own tale of duality published under a pseudonym?

When Fanny Stevenson stole another story idea from Katharine, why did RLS explode with Hydelike rage at the cousin for whom he had once been the one that loves you Jekyll, and not Hyde?

Featuring the full text of Katharines tale of duality, Fannys stolen story and another tale revealing Katharines grief at losing her cousins love forever, Mrs Jekyll & Cousin Hyde sheds new light on one of the greatest Victorian authors.

About Jeremy Hodges

In a varied journalistic career from Merseyside to Australia John OGroats to Aberdeen and Glasgow Jeremy Hodges has been a reporter feature writer columnist and TV critic. He has also covered more than his fair share of Edinburgh Festivals for newspapers in Scotland including The Sunday Times and latterly the Scottish Daily Mail. After writing his first article on Stevenson to mark the 1994 centenary of the authors death in Samoa he developed an RLS obsession which he sought to cure by writing a book. Soon his wife and sons in Falkirk were obliged to accept Louis as an extra member of the family with every detail of his fascinating life discussed over the meal table. After more than three decades they have given up trying to get rid of him.
