Stevenson, Robert Louis

The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Weir of Hermiston - Oxford Oxford University Press 1998 - xxxi,229p. - Oxford World's Classics .

The novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde centers on a London attorney named Gabriel John Utterson who looks into odd events involving his longtime friend Dr. Henry Jekyll and the sinister Edward Hyde. Because of the novella's influence, the mere phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" has come to refer to someone whose moral character can vary greatly depending on the circumstance. The riveting conflict between two diametrically opposed personalities—one fundamentally good and the other evil—over one man's soul is depicted in the novella.
