(This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Edition includes a glossary and reader's notes to help the modern reader contend with Stevenson's language and themes.

Originally published in 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde became an immediate sensation with the public, which was thoroughly fascinated by the book's study of guilt, moral responsibility, and horror. Stevenson carefully weaves a detective story with the quest for human perfection gone awry to construct a tale that has haunted readers for more than a century.
