Kurzbeschreibung
The text used for this Norton Critical Edition of Stevenson's novella is that of the 1886 first edition, the only edition which was set directly from the author's manuscript. It has been rigorously annotated for undergraduate readers, and is accompanied by a textual appendix. The five critical essays centre on the novella's allegorical dimensions and its narrative technique. Four scientific essays, including one by Stephen Jay Gould, discuss the concept of the divided self, multiple personality disorders and the use of narcotics. A section on performance adaptations examines the many ways the plot has been dramatized over more than a century, as an outlet for modern psychological and social concerns.

Format:Taschenbuch
Stevenson's original text, plus authoritative criticism, background information. Good literary series for students and researchers, as well as for those, who know that Jekyll and Hyde was not written for the BBC series. A real Gothic Classic

Some Points to Consider
2. November 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
Since I am a contributor to this volume, I will not offer a "review" in a conventional sense, but I will offer a list of contents, which this website otherwise does not offer. As there are a number of competing paperback editions of Stevenson's novella and the text of the story is essentially the same (allowing for minor editorial variants), readers should consider the issue of what else besides the main text they will be getting for their money, and this edition is unusually rich in supplementary features, so that the original story makes up only 55 of its 222 pages.
In addition to the text of Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," with explanatory notes by the editor, this volume also contains:
A preface by the editor, a "textual appendix" about textual variants in the manuscripts, a map of 19th century London marking places mentioned in the story, a timeline of the major events in the life of author Robert Louis Stevenson, and a bibliography. Plus...
An excerpt from a biography about Stevenson by Graham Balfour about the circumstances of the story's authorship...
A brief excerpt from Stevenson's "A Chapter on Dreams," which discusses the influence of his dreams on the story...
12 letters by Stevenson that discuss aspects of the "Dr. Jekyll" story...
10 contemporary reviews and comments about "Dr. Jekyll" that show how the story was originally received...
Another horror-oriented short story by Stevenson entitled "Markheim"...
A brief non-fiction piece by Stevenson, "How I Came to be such a student of our Penny Press," together with some examples of 19th century book advertising...
Three essays about the literary context of "Dr. Jekyll": Karl Miller, "The Modern Double": Jenni Calder, "Stevenson's Scottish Devil Tales"; and Judith Halberstam, "An Introduction to Gothic Monstrosity"...
Four essays about the scientific context of Stevenson's story: Stephen Jay Gould, "Post-Darwinist Theories of the Ape Within"; Frederic W. H. Myers, "Multiple Personality"; Norman Kerr, "Abject Slaves to the Narcotic"; John Addington Symonds, "This Aberrant Inclination in Myself"...
Two essays about the socio-historical context of Stevenson's story: Judith R. Walkowitz, "London in the 1880s"; and Walter Houghton, "Hypocrisy"...
Three essays and a filmography about theatrical and film adaptations of "Dr. Jekyll": C. Alex Pinkston, Jr., "The Stage Premiere of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"; Charles King, "Themes and Variations" (about film); Scott Allen Nollen, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Paramount, 1931)"; and Katherine Linehan, "A Checklist of Major Performance Adaptations"...
And five additional critical essays: G. K. Chesterton, "The Real Stab of the Story"; Vladimir Nabokov, "The Phenomenon of Style"; Peter K. Garrett, "Instabilities of Meaning, Morality, and Narration"; Patrick Brantlinger, "An Unconscious Allegory about the Masses and Mass Literacy"; and Katherine Linehan, "Sex, Secrecy and Self-Alienation in Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde".
For sheer range of commentary, I do not think that you could point to a comparable volume.

A fine edition for scholars, students and the general reader
22. Januar 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This is another first-rate critical edition from Norton. The text is cleanly printed with careful and accurate annotations. Both the critical and the backgrounds and contexts essays are well chosen. Sections on performance adaptations on stage and screen and on literary, scientific and sociohistorical contexts are particularly useful.One of the best critical essays is the editor's own. A detailed Stevenson chronology and an accurate selected bibliography conclude the volume.
Not only a scientific fiction
25. Mai 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
This story in fact is a scientific fiction, because the change of personality and appearance was due to chemical substances. However, this is not a simple scientific fiction because it reveals the double characters in human life: a well-respected doctor could have some evil thoughts in his mind and behaved differently.
On the other hand, the author did not mention why Dr. Jekyll wanted to do such horrible experiment to ruin himself completely. Perhaps this is the point that needs to explore.
