While still a teenager, he developed a script for a play about William Brodie, which he later reworked with the help of W. E. Henley and which was produced for the first time in 1882. In early 1884, he wrote the short story \u201cMarkheim\u201d, which he revised in 1884 for publication in a Christmas annual. According to his essay \u201cA Chapter on Dreams\u201d (Scribner\u2019s, Jan. 1888), he racked his brains for an idea for a story and had a dream, and upon waking had the intuition for two or three scenes that would appear in the story Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Biographer, Graham Balfour, quoted Stevenson\u2019s wife, Fanny Stevenson:In the small hours of one morning,[\u2026] I was awakened by cries of horror from Louis. Thinking he had a nightmare, I awakened him. He said angrily: \u201cWhy did you wake me? I was dreaming a fine bogey tale.\u201d I had awakened him at the first transformation scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lloyd Osbourne, Stevenson\u2019s stepson, wrote: \u201cI don\u2019t believe that there was ever such a literary feat before as the writing of Dr. Jekyll. I remember the first reading as though it were yesterday. Louis came downstairs in a fever; read nearly half the book aloud; and then, while we were still gasping, he was away again, and busy writing. I doubt if the first draft took so long as three days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspiration may also have come from the writer\u2019s friendship with an Edinburgh-based French teacher, Eugene Chantrelle, who was convicted and executed for the murder of his wife in May 1878. Chantrelle, who had appeared to lead a normal life in the city, poisoned his wife with opium. According to author Jeremy Hodges, Stevenson was present throughout the trial and as \u201cthe evidence unfolded he found himself, like Dr. Jekyll, \u2018aghast before the acts of Edward Hyde\u2019.\u201d Moreover, it was believed that the teacher had committed other murders both in France and Britain by poisoning his victims at supper parties with a \u201cfavourite dish of toasted cheese and opium\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":7404,"template":"","format":[59],"meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"book-author":[88],"blockchain":[4],"book-genre":[],"narrator":[],"book-publisher":[58],"series":[60],"class_list":["post-7393","book-dea","type-book-dea","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","book-author-robert-louis-stevenson","blockchain-cardano","format-ebook","book-publisher-book-io","series-monster"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Stuff.io<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This is the sixth release in the Book.io Classics: Monster Editions.
