Notes on Life and Letters

by Joseph Conrad

Overview

This book is a collection of some of Konrad’s reviews and writings. The collection is divided into two parts, primarily the sections „Letters”, its reviews. The second section is called Life, but this is only true in a limited sense. It contains Conrad’s views on some of the pressing political issues of the day. They range from the Russo-Japanese War and the question of the independence of Poland to the death of the Titanic.

Editorial Reviews

"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
