Cloth. Condition: Very Good. None (illustrator). A smart collection of fourteen volumes from this set of the complete works of Polish-British novelist Joseph Conrad. Fourteen volumes of a twenty-five volume set. Lacking volumes 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. Canterbury edition. The collected works of Joseph Conrad, a Polish-British novelist and story writer regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language. Conrad is considered a literary impressionist and an early modernist, and his works contain elements of nineteenth-century realism. Many of his pieces are set in nautical environments that depict crises of human individuality in the midst of what he saw as an indifferent, inscrutable and amoral world. Both The Inheritors: An Extravagant Story and Romance: A Novel, were written alongside Ford Madox Ford, under F. M. Hueffer, an English novelist, poet, critic and editor. This set contains: Volume I - The Arrow of Gold: A Story Between Two Notes. Set in Marseille in the 1870s during the Third Carlist War, following a love triangle which comprises the young narrator, Dona Rita and the Confederate veteran Captain Blunt. Volume II - Chance: A Tale in Two Parts. A record of various episodes in the life of Miss de Barral, the daughter of a convicted swindler named Smith de Barral. Volume III - Notes on Life and Letters. A collection of essays and correspondence from the author. Volume VI - The Mirror of The Sea. A collection of autobiographical essays first published in various magazines. Volume V - The Inheritors: An Extravagant Story. A quasi-science fiction novel written before the first World War, exploring themes of corruption and the effect of the twentieth century on British aristocracy. Volume VI - A Personal Record. An autobiographical work notoriously unreliable and digressive in structure, nonetheless considered the principal contemporary source for information about the author's life. Volume VII - Romance: A Novel. Following John Kemp, a young English man, as he boards a ship bound for Jamaica, and then another, bound for Cuba. Volume VIII - Tales of Unrest. A collection of short stories. Volume IX - Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard. Set in the fictitious South American republic of "Costaguana", this novel follows Charles Gould, a native Costaguanero of English descent who owns an important silver-mining concession near the key port of Sulaco. Volume X - Within the Tides: Tales. A collection of short stories. Volume XI - Almayer's Folly. Set in the late nineteenth century, the story follows the life of the Dutch trader Kaspar Almayer in the Borneo jungle and his relationship to his mixed heritage daughter Nina. Volume XIII - The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale. An anarchist spy fiction novel set in London in 1886 which deals with Mr. Adolf Verloc and his work as a spy for an unnamed country. Volume XIV - An Outcast of The Islands. Inspired by Conrad's experience as mate of a steamer, the Vidar, the novel details the undoing of Peter Willems, a disreputable, immoral man who, while on the run from a scandal in Makassar, finds refuge in a hidden native village. Volume XV - Victory. A psychological novel following the life of Axel Heyst who leaves England after his father's death and becomes a rootless wanderer. In the original full cloth binding.

"As the close of his life approached, Swinburne frequently expressed his intention to extract from his various volumes those poems which were addressed to children, or were descriptive of child life, and to publish them in a separate collection. He died without having found occasion to carry out this plan, and he left no directions with regard to the way in which it ought to be done. [-] One reason why Swinburne never brought out such a collection was his failure to find an artist who could interpret to his satisfaction the simplicity and freshness of his verses. We are fortunate in having secured, in Mr. Arthur Rackham, one whose delicate and romantic fancy is in sensitive harmony with Swinburne's, and who understands, no less than he did, how 'Heaven lies about us in our infancy.' Edmund Gosse."(-From the Preface, pp. v-vi).
