IN THE SOUTH SEAS records Stevenson's travels with his wife Fanny and their family in the Marquesas, the Paumotus and the Gilbert Islands during 1888-9. Originally drafted in journal form while Stevenson travelled, it was then ambitiously rewrittento describe the islands and islanders as well as Stevenson's own personal experiences. IN THE SOUTH SEAS was published posthumously in 1896. Its combination of personal anecdote and historical account, of autobiography and anthropology, of Stevenson and South Sea Islands, has a particular charm.

The South Seas Fiction of Robert Louis Stevenson investigates how Stevenson's fusion of imagination, travel experiences, history, and the oral traditions of Polynesian folklore and white sea yarns created novels and stories that were simultaneously realistic and symbolic. In its analysis of the author's portrayal of the conflict and compromise between islanders and white interlopers, this study reveals how Stevenson's Pacific works anticipated the use of exotic setting by Conrad, Maugham, and other writers.
