Lay Morals, and Other Papers

by Robert Louis Stevenson from 1885

About

Stevenson's later essays — including 'Lay Morals,' 'The Morality of the Profession of Letters,' and travel pieces — show his range as a moralist and stylist. Less celebrated than Virginibus Puerisque, they contain some of his most direct engagement with ethics and social questions. As reading material, the individual essays work well for groups interested in the Victorian moral essay tradition.
