Description
The five stories brought together in Tales of Unrest (1898) mark a turning point in the writer's career.
Conrad's first short story collection evidences a writer firmly in control of his new craft staking a claim to diverse cultural and fictional territories.
The introduction situates the writing of these stories in Conrad's career and discusses their sources and contemporary reception.
The explanatory notes identify literary and historical references and real-life places, and indicate influences.
Two maps and six illustrations enrich the explanatory matter.
The essay on the text lays out the history of the work's composition and publication, details interventions by Conrad's typists, compositors and editors, and explains editorial policy.
This edition, established through modern textual scholarship, presents Conrad's stories and his preface to the collection in forms more authoritative than any so far printed.
