Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Familiar Studies of Men and Books by Robert Louis Stevenson.(1882) provided a kind of complementary piece to Virginibus Puerisque, reprinting the most literary and critical essays that were left out of the first collection. In her Preface, she describes the contents as "the readings of a literary tramp". The volume contains nine essays: seven essays that previously appeared in Cornhill Magazine ("Victor Hugo's Romances" [1874]; "Charles of Orleans" [1876]; "François Villon, Student, Poet and Housebreaker" [1877]; "Some Aspects of Robert Burns "[1879];" Henry David Thoreau: his character and opinions "and" Yoshida-Torajiro "[1880];" Samuel Pepys "[1881]), one of Macmillan (" John Knox and his relations with the women "" [1875]) and one from New Quarterly Magazine ("Walt Whitman", 1878).Stevenson added a "Preface, by way of criticism," which offers his own evaluation of his essays, often showing how his views have changed since the essays were first written. The studies are "familiar" in the sense of "informal" or "conversational" style. They attempt to bring their themes to life, often creating novel characterizations of men and addressing books from the point of view of a committed reader rather than an academic critic.
