Opis

This volume presents all known Conrad letters from the years 1917-1919 (many of them published for the first time) in a framework highlighting their literary, historical, cultural, and biographical significance. His correspondence reveals his state of mind as he and his family dealt with the anxieties of the war time years, and the return to a fragile peace. During this time, Conrad published The Shadow-Line, The Arrow of Gold, and The Rescue, along with a considerable amount of shorter works, and was engaged in a critical rereading of his earlier books.
