Robert Louis Stevenson’s KIDNAPPED began life serialised in a children’s magazine, but its sophistication & depth won the lifelong admiration of Henry James.
In this episode of NOVEL APPROACHES, Clare Bucknell, Andrew O’Hagan & Tom Crewe explore RLS’s startlingly modern handling of perspective & pacing, his approach to the art of fiction, & the value of being ‘betwixt & between’.
