Notes on Life & Letter

Synopsis

The twenty-six essays collected in Notes on Life and Letters (first published 1921) offer 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, traces the book's reception, and offers new perspectives on its relationship to Conrad's other writings. Two maps supplement extensive explanatory material. Through modern textual scholarship, this edition presents Conrad's essays and reviews in a form more authoritative than any hitherto printed.
