An Outcast of the Islands (1896), Conrad's second novel, returns to
the Malay world of Almayer's Folly (1895). Focusing on the collapse
of Western values and morals in a colonial setting, the novel
daringly portrays the power of erotic attraction and exposes the
venal ambitions behind small- and large-scale political intrigues.
The introduction situates the novel in Conrad's career as a writer
and traces its origins and reception. The essay on the text and the
apparatus explain the history of the work's composition and
publication, and detail the interventions of Conrad's compositors
and editors. There are notes explaining literary and historical
references, a glossary of nautical terms, illustrations including
pictures of early drafts, and appendixes. This edition presents the
novel and its preface in forms more authoritative than any so far
printed, and restores a text that has circulated in defective forms
since its original publication.
