Books Which Have Influenced Me: A Paper Contributed To The British Weekly, May 13, 1887 (1905) is a collection of essays written by Robert Louis Stevenson, the renowned Scottish author, poet, and essayist. Originally published in 1887 in The British Weekly, these essays reflect on the books that had a profound impact on Stevenson’s life and work. In this book, Stevenson shares his thoughts on a wide range of literary works, from classic novels like Don Quixote and Robinson Crusoe to lesser-known works like The Pentameron by Giambattista Basile. He also discusses the influence of poetry, including the works of William Shakespeare, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats. Throughout the essays, Stevenson provides personal anecdotes and reflections on how each book affected him, both as a writer and as a person. He also offers insights into his own creative process and the ways in which he drew inspiration from these works. Books Which Have Influenced Me is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential writers of the 19th century.
