Abstract
This essay unravels some of the Stevensonian influences and literary allusions that Wells drew upon when conceiving The Island of Doctor Moreau. What emerges is a clear recognition of Stevenson as a major late-nineteenth-century author who played a significant role in the inauguration of some of the new literary genres that emerged during the twentieth century.
