Yet another story - never finished if, indeed, ever begun - about 'a bomb in a hotel' also hovered in his mind at this time. As Conrad acknowledged in his brief preface to the volume's first American edition (1915), the stories, 'if not an organic whole', none the less constitute 'a homogeneous group written with a certain unity of method' (5.10-11), concentrated on incident and action (Letters, IV, 29-30) and were all based, he claimed, upon real-life events. Ranging widely in their geographical settings and time periods, the six tales further explore the preoccupations of his longer fictions - perhaps most broadly, the multifarious nature and manifestations of power and violence, major themes in Nostromo and central to The Secret Agent, both of which interrupted and dislodged from his desk the long-evolving Chance (1914)"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a A SET OF SIX : Note to the first American edition -- Authors Note -- Gaspar Ruiz -- The Informer -- The Brute -- An Anarchist -- The Duel -- Il Conde -- THE TEXTS: AN ESSAY : An Anarchist -- The Informer -- The Brute -- Il Conde -- The Duel -- Book Editions -- Emendation -- The 'Note to the First American Edition' -- The 'Author's Note' -- The Cambridge Texts -- APPARATUS : Emendation and Variation -- Emendations of Accidentals -- End-of-Line Word-Division -- TEXTUAL NOTES : Appendices: Conrad's Sources for 'Gaspar Ruiz' ; Conrad's Sources for 'The Duel' ; 'Author's Note' to Youth and Gaspar Ruiz -- Explanatory Notes -- Glossaries: Foreign Words and Phrases ; Nautical Terms -- Maps. 600 10 $a Conrad, Joseph, $d 1857-1924. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century. 700 1 $a Simmons, Allan, $d 1955- $e editor. $e writer of introduction., $e editor. 700 1 $a Foster, Michael, $e editor, author of introduction 700 1 $a Knowles, Owen, $e author of introduction 776 08 $i Online version: $a Conrad, Joseph, 1857-1924. $t Set of six. $d Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2021. $z 9781316986998 $w (DLC) 2021002047 800 1 $a Conrad, Joseph, $d 1857-1924. $t Works. $f 1990. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220303012325.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5BF8A6E083F811ECA43678234CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
