Resum
Robert Louis Stevenson's essayistic works are as prolific as they are formidable. Tracing down the critical milestones that brought in both the disaffection -erratic ill-informed appreciations by scholars and literary pundits-and their prompt reinstatement and subsequent revaluation in the hands of his more immediate staunch defenders, this article offers keys to an understanding of the complex and polyphonic quality of Stevenson's essays, evincing both their unexplored value and the tremendous need to rescue them from their debunking caused by the enormous popularity of his fiction.
