About the Authors

Twenty-six essays in Notes on Life and Letters (1921) present a kaleidoscopic view of Joseph Conrad's literary views and interest in the events of his day, including the Titanic disaster and First World War. The introduction traces the pre-publication history of the essays, and the book's reception, offering new perspectives on the work's relationship to Conrad's other writings.
- First critical edition of important Conrad text
- Essential reading for all Conrad scholars, since it gives Conrad's views on literary and political issues, and offers biographical information
- Edition based on extensive archival research, and with full annotation and reference features including maps, chronology etc.

Reviews & endorsements
"This volume--with its thoughtful and thorough essays, Notes, and Apparatus--constitutes an excellent casebook on the making of critical editions. More importantly, of course, it is a major contribution to Conrad scholarship and will undoubtedly become the authoritative foundation for further research and writing on this richly varied collection of the author's journalistic writings." - Wallace Watson, Duquesne University
