Stevenson: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

In this course, Professor Nick Groom (University of Exeter) explores Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde’. As we move through the course, we consider a number of topics including the novel’s interest in language and literature, the nature of the Gothic, the urban setting of the novel and its interest in criminology and forensics, the novel’s engagement with contemporary science and medicine, and the nature of Jekyll’s psychology.

Language

In this module, we consider the novel’s interest in language and literature, starting with the title of the novel, but also exploring the novel’s engagement with other literature, and its interest in the meaning of character and identity, and of plot and confession.
