This book looks at the inception, composition, and 1907 publication
of The Secret Agent, one of Joseph Conrad's most highly regarded
political novels and a core text of literary modernism. David Mulry
examines the development and revisions of the novel through the
stages of the holograph manuscript, first as a short story, then as
a serialized sensation fiction in Ridgway's Militant Weekly for the
American market, before it was extensively revised and published in
novel form. Presciently anticipating the climate of modern terror,
Conrad's text responds to the failed Greenwich Bombing, the first
anarchist atrocity to occur on English soil. This book charts its
historical and cultural milieu via press and anarchist accounts of
the bombing, to place Conrad foremost among the dynamite fiction of
revolutionary anarchism and terrorism in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries.
