THE STRANGE CASE OF DR.JEKYLL AND MR.HYDE was an instant sensation and had a tremendous impact on later generations; it would not be an exaggeration to say that there have been hundreds of stage and film productions drawn either directly or indirectly from the original Robert Louis Stevenson story.Readers who come to the story from these adaptations,however,will very likely be surprised:few of them do more than borrow Stevenson's central concept.
Unlike the numerous stage and film adaptations,Dr.Jekyll is not a young or remarkably handsome man,nor the book does not contain any of the romantic subplots to which its adaptations are prone.At approximately one hundred pages,the story is very direct and extremely well suited to Stevenson's very precise style,which is very clean yet extremely evocative and very readable.
That said,modern readers are unlikely to be shocked by the book.For one thing,the story is too well known; for another,it contains very little of the graphic horror typical of current horror stories.But more than anything else,DR.JEKYLL is very distinctly a novel that draws from the Victorian era,and much of its impact was due to that society's remarkable hypocrisy; it was a world in which appearances were everything and a double life "acceptable" as long as you were not caught at it.
The same concept arises in two other novels from the same era,Bram Stoker's DRACULA and Oscar Wilde's THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY,albeit in distinctly different forms.But whereas the Stoker and Wilde novels transcend their era,Stevenson's tale does not,and with the passing of Victorian attitudes the work has lost a great deal of its power to shock.Even so,Stevenson does touch a nerve with his chemically-induced transformation; then as now,drug abuse was a scourge,and in addition to this the work is somewhat similar to Mary Shelly's FRANKENSTEIN in the sense that it anticipates a host of ethical concerns that have become more and more pressing with the passage of time.
Although it has not held up as well as the other titles named,DR.JEKYLL AND MR.HYDE is nonetheless unavoidable for any one who has an interest in gothic or horror literature because it had--and continues to have--such a tremendous influence on later works.Stevenson's prose is elegant,it is "an easy read," and I think most contemporary readers will enjoy it if they make the effort to see it within the context of its era.
