About this Event
Robert Louis Stevenson lived in Samoa from 1890 until his death in 1894. This event brings together Pacific researchers and artists in a panel discussion to explore the life and legacy of Stevenson in Samoa. This will include a special screening of a documentary film made by young Samoan filmmakers.
This event is part of Robert Louis Stevenson Day (#RLSDay), an annual date marking the birthday of one of Edinburgh’s most famous writers. The event has been produced by the National Library of Scotland in partnership with the University of Edinburgh as part of the Remediating Stevenson Project. It coincides with the display 'Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pacific' which is on at George IV Bridge from Friday 8 November.
A full list of speakers will be announced shortly.
