Barry Menikoff reveals that Stevenson was a serious student of Scottish history and culture. His true project was to reconsititute his country's history after the collapse of the Jacobite rebellion. Menikoff contends that in Kidnapped and David Balfour Stevenson imaginatively reconstructed that culture for the sake of his nation, and its posterity.
