Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson was one of the most beloved adventure writers of the Victorian era, crafting tales of pirates, treasure, and psychological horror that remain classics. Treasure Island defined the pirate adventure genre, and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde became a foundational text of psychological horror. His lyrical prose and moral complexity elevated the adventure story to literature.
