The text of Stevenson's novella is that of the 1886 First British Edition, the only edition which was set directly from the author's manuscript and for which he read proofs. It has been rigorously annotated for undergraduate readers and is accompanied by a textual appendix. "Backgrounds and Contexts" includes a wealth of materials on the story and its relevance to Victorian culture. "Performance Adaptations" shows the versatility with which the plot of Jekyll and Hyde has been reworked over more than a century as an outlet for modern psychological and social concerns. "Criticism" collects five essays on the novella, centering on its allegorical dimensions (Chesterton, Brantlinger, and Linehan) and its narrative technique (Nabokov, Garrett). A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included. About the series : No other series of classic texts equals the caliber of the Norton Critical Editions .

評分懸疑手法還真和坡不相上下啊。其實一直都覺得每個人都可以被分裂為不同的個體,dual,triple,endless...If each,I told myself,could be housed in separate identities,life would be relieved fo all that was unbearable.
評分On "homosexuality": Mr. Utterson's affection should only be the "friendship" and "kindness" to me. however, following the motif of this novella: no one is ever pure evil or good. any kind of emotion ends up as the mixture of desires, the homosexuality explains itself. after all, it's always something could be included in the Barthes' "benevolence".
