Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Name: Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Author: Robert Louis Stevenson

by Robert Louis Stevenson · 1886

Classics · ranked #34 in category

The respectable Dr Henry Jekyll creates a potion that releases his darker nature as the violent Mr Hyde — smaller, freed from conscience, and capable of acts Jekyll himself cannot commit. As Hyde's crimes grow worse, Jekyll loses control of the transformation. Stevenson's Gothic novella is a founding text of the double-identity story and a study of Victorian repression and the darkness it conceals beneath respectability.
