Monomaniacs, evolutionary science and the influence of Stevenson in Wells's The Island of Doctor Moreau

What emerges is a clear recognition of Stevenson as a major late-nineteenth-century author who played a significant role in the inauguration of some of the new literary genres that emerged during the twentieth century.
