A divided self in Victorian fiction

Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel builds its central mystery around Dr. Jekyll, a kindly scientist whose nighttime transformation into Mr. Hyde turns a strange case into an exploration of divided human character. The contrast between Jekyll’s public identity and Hyde’s darker counterpart gives the story its psychological dimension, while suspense and terror shape its familiar tale of duality. First published in 1866, the book is also a work of classic fiction often read through the question of how conflicting sides of human nature can coexist.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in classic psychological thrillers and mystery.
  • Readers exploring fiction about duality and human character.
  • Readers seeking a short classic tale of suspense and terror.

Book overview

Robert Louis Stevenson originally wrote Dr. Jekyll And Mr Hyde as a "chilling shocker." He then burned the draft and, upon his wife's advice, rewrote it as the darkly complex tale it is today. Stark, skillfully woven, this fascinating novel explores the curious turnings of human character through the strange case of Dr. Jekyll, a kindly scientist who by night takes on his stunted evil self, Mr. Hyde. Anticipating modern psychology, Jekyll And Hyde is a brilliantly original study of man's dual nature--as well as an immortal tale of suspense and terror. Published in 1866, Jekyll And Hyde was an instant success and brought Stevenson his first taste of fame. Though sometimes dismissed as a mere mystery story, the book has evoked much literary admirations. Vladimir Nabokov likened it to Madame Bovary and Dead Souls as "a fable that lies nearer to poetry than to ordinary prose fiction."
