No mention of Swanston
I notice that this article makes no mention of Swanston, the village at the foot of the Pentland Hills where the young RLS spent his holidays between 1867 and 1880 and which arguably had an important influence on his writing. Perhaps someone can put this right? If not, I'll have a shot at it myself. Mike Marchmont (talk) 18:17, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- I decided to be bold. I have now added a paragraph re his time in Swanston. Mike Marchmont (talk) 16:13, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
Cause of death
According to this paper, Stevenson may have suffered hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler-Rendu-Weber Syndrome), This would explain his chronic respiratory complaints, recurrent episodes of pulmonary hemorrhage, and his death, at age 44 years, of probable cerebral hemorrhage. It would also explain his mother's hitherto unreported but apparent stroke, at age 38 years.[1]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10751091/ Alparla (talk) 18:38, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- An interesting comment. In fact, it was mentioned in Claire Harman's biography of Stevenson (listed in the main article under "Sources"). She says "Recently, two American researchers have introduced yet another thesis, that Stevenson may have suffered from haemorrhagic telangiectasia, or Osler-Rendu-Weber Syndrome ... It would also explain his mother’s and maternal grandfather’s similar symptoms". She cites as her source that same paper by Guttmacher andCallahan in the American Journal of Medical Genetics. Looks like there is enough information here to add to the article. Mike Marchmont (talk) 14:17, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've now added the information from the above-mentioned American Journal of Medical Genetics. Mike Marchmont (talk) 16:37, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
