A Set of Six (1908) is one of Conrad's most versatile and varied
compositions, embracing diverse interests and settings, multiple
tonal qualities and a medley of short-story forms (ranging from the
novella in 'The Duel' to the anecdotal tale in 'The Informer'). The
volume's wide-ranging introduction offers a careful evaluation of
the origins and sources of the individual stories, while also
measuring their early reception as a published collection.
Explanatory notes clarify literary and historical references,
identify real-life places and people, and indicate borrowings and
Gallicisms. The lengthy textual essay and its accompanying
apparatus lay out the history of composition and publication,
detailing interventions made by Conrad's typists, compositors and
editors. Also included are appendices, allowing the reader
first-hand access to Conrad's source material; glossaries of
nautical and foreign terms; and illustrations in the form of maps
and reproductions of early drafts. By returning to (and respecting)
Conrad's own early manuscript and typescript forms, this edition
presents the collection and its preface in a form more
authoritative than any so far printed.
