Reviews

"The scholarly wealth and care of this edition, the clarity of lay-out and secondary material are beyond praise. This represents the archival energy of American scholarship at its finest." George Steiner, The Sunday Times "These letters are impeccably edited and presented...To anyone interested in the history of fiction writing or the emergence of modernism, they are indispensable." Tony Tanner, The Times Higher Education Supplement "One of the advantages of this new collection -- besides that of providing accurate texts of unpublished correspondence and of the many letters that have long been available in unreliable editions -- is that it enables us to appreciate the extent to which some of Conrad's letters are themselves part of his achievement at a prose writer." Louis Menand, The New York Review of Books "Altogether, this volume (like the preceding ones already published in this edition) is a book that anyone interested in Joseph Conrad's emergence as a major English novelist will wish to have. It will certainly become an indispensable guide and invaluable source for literary scholars: the editorial principles on which it is based are clearly indicated and scrupulously observed; the scholarly apparatus itself is impressively thorough and careful, without being obtrusive or distracting." Brian Thomas, Conradiana
