Overview: Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov. Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson’s popularity and allow him a place in the Western canon.

The Waif Woman
Robert Stevenson’s "The Waif Woman" was unpublished at the time of his death; it was found among his papers. Writing of the fables which Stevenson began before he had left England and "attacked again, and from time to time added to their number" in 1893, Mr. Balfour (author of the Life of Stevenson) says: "The reference to Odin [Fable XVII] perhaps is due to his reading of the Sagas, which led him to attempt a tal in the same style, called ‘The Waif Woman.’ "
