The 19th century was a time of shifting morals, behaviours and beliefs. People led secret double lives, leading authors and scientists alike to become fascinated with human psychology. This programme investigates the inspiration behind and Gothic influences on Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’. It provides a valuable accompaniment to senior English students studying this text.
