RLS – a short list of principal publications
The publishing history of RLS is astonishingly complicated, partly because of how much he wrote, and partly because many of his works appeared in magazine form before being printed separately. For the detailed description of his prose works, see Roger G. Swearingen, The Prose Writings of Robert Louis Stevenson: A Guide. London: Macmillan, 1980. The following list gives the main editions. (Dates for publication in magazine form are given in brackets).
