Talk by Richard Hughes
Robert Louis Stevenson was born a hundred years ago today. But which do we celebrate, the work or the man? Which is of significance today, certain essays, novels, and poems, or one of the most vivid personalities that has ever impressed itself on the public mind? Richard Hughes examines this problem as a fellow novelist.
