Conrad Between the Lines: Documents in a Life

This volume makes available a variety of texts by Joseph Conrad's friends and contemporaries, ranging from a sailing memoir by his oldest English friend to a dramatic adaptation of his novel Victory, and from his secretary's notebook to his last will and testament. Often mentioned or cited by scholars, these texts are here published in full for the first time. They also reveal Conrad speaking "between the lines" in various voices, and raise theoretical questions about the social nature of authorship and the construction of authorial canons.
