Stevenson claimed that the main features of the story came to him in a dream, and he wrote it very rapidly, though ill and bedridden at the time. Priced at one shilling (the genre of macabre and horror stories was known as the 'shilling shocker'), it was an immediate success. Though not the first of Stevenson's works to explore the notion of the divided self, in a period where increasing concern was felt about the possible negative sides of discoveries in both the physical and biological sciences, the story clearly struck a chord, and it has remained popular ever since.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eStory of the door\u003cbr\u003e Search for Mr Hyde\u003cbr\u003e Dr Jekyll was quite at ease\u003cbr\u003e The Carew murder case\u003cbr\u003e Incident of the letter\u003cbr\u003e Remarkable incident of Dr Lanyon\u003cbr\u003e Incident at the window\u003cbr\u003e The last night\u003cbr\u003e Dr Lanyon's narrative\u003cbr\u003e Henry Jekyll's full statement of the case.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20c%201800%20to%20c%201900%20%20%5BDSBF%5D%22\"\u003eDSBF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266190332184,"sku":"9781108075169","price":20.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108075169i_1cf099c0-4bc8-4461-bbf6-61bf79a3a2bf.jpg?v=1696751538","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/strange-case-of-dr-jekyll-and-mr-hyde-paperback-9781108075169","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
