史蒂文生(Robert Louis Stevenson,1850-1894),英国作家。史蒂文生出生于爱丁堡,祖父和父亲都是知名的建筑工程师,作家早年也进入爱丁堡大学攻读土木工程,不久改学法律。史蒂文生在大学读书期间即开始写作,其成名作则是出版于1883年的《金银岛》。此后又出版了《诱拐》、《化身博士》、《魔瓶》等一批具有强烈的异国情调和传奇色彩的作品,深受青少年读者的喜爱。
史蒂文生是19世纪末期著名的新浪漫主义的代表人物,他的文笔细腻流畅,故事惊险生动,从而有力地激发读者的想象力,进入美妙奇幻的冒险世界。史蒂文生又以同情的笔调描写底层的贫民、流浪儿、孤儿和土著居民,表现他们善良、高尚、勇敢的个性,因而给世纪末的欧洲文坛吹来一股清新、健朗的文风。
