eBooks, eBook Download (EPUB), 1., Laurus Book Society, <p>&quot;Virginibus Puerisque&quot; is a collection of short essays and mostly a record of Stevenson&rsquo;s opinions - which means, largely, of his likes and dislikes. It all comes back to his sympathy with the juvenile, and that feeling about life which leads him to regard women as so many super?uous girls in a boy&#39;s game.</p><p><br /> Stevenson was the only son of Thomas Stevenson, a prosperous civil engineer, and his wife, Margaret Isabella Balfour. His poor health made regular schooling difficult, but he attended Edinburgh Academy and other schools before, at age 17, entering Edinburgh University, where he was expected to prepare himself for the family profession of lighthouse engineering. But Stevenson had no desire to be an engineer, and he eventually agreed with his father, as a compromise, to prepare instead for the Scottish bar.<br /> He had shown a desire to write early in life, and once in his teens he had deliberately set out to learn the writer&rsquo;s craft by imitating a great variety of models in prose and verse. His youthful enthusiasm for the Covenanters (i.e., those Scotsmen who had banded together to defend their version of Presbyterianism in the 17th century) led to his writing The Pentland Rising, his first printed work. During his years at the university he rebelled against his parents&rsquo; religion and set himself up as a liberal bohemian who abhorred the alleged cruelties and hypocrisies of bourgeois respectability.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> Seiten: 350, Laurus Book Society, 2019<
