Description and Table of Contents
Description
This Norton Critical Edition offers the first English book edition of the novel (1907), with explanatory footnotes. Accompanying this are contemporary sources that informed Joseph Conrad's writing of the novel, including newspaper accounts of the "Greenwich Bomb Outrage", articles from the anarchist press, earlier treatments of the Martial Bourdin case in fiction, and texts related both to anarchism and fin-de-siecle culture. Seven wide-ranging critical essays are included, along with a chronology and a bibliography.
