Narrating Scotland traces the Scottish writer's weaving together of source material from memoirs, letters, histories, and records of trials. Barry Menikoff uncovers the documentary basis for reading Kidnapped and David Balfour as political allegories and reveals the skill with which Stevenson offered a narrative that British colonizers could enjoy without being offended by its underlying condemnation.
