Zusammenfassung:"First published in 1886 as a 'shilling shocker, ' 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' takes the basic struggle between good and evil and adds to the mix bourgeois respectability, urban violence, and class conflict.

This Broadview edition provides a selection of contextual material, including contemporary reviews of the novel, Stevenson's essay 'A Chapter on Dreams, ' and excerpts from the 1887 stage version of 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. Also included are historical documents on criminality and degeneracy, the 'Jack the Ripper' murders, the 'double brain' and London in the 1880s."--Back cover
