About this title

Synopsis

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.
