Bringing together work composed from 1890 to 1924, the nineteen
pieces collected in the posthumously published Last Essays (1926)
serve as a primer to Conrad's wide interests and to the varieties
of his style. This edition, supported by an extensive textual
apparatus, brings together various prose pieces, including
reminiscences, reviews, essays on the sea and politics, as well as
several miscellaneous items, including his 'Congo Diary' and the
other notebook he kept in Africa in 1890. The introduction situates
these writings in Conrad's career, offers new perspectives on
Conrad in the marketplace and as a writer of occasional prose and
traces the contemporary reception of the volume. The notes explain
literary and historical references, identify real-life places and
indicate Conrad's main sources. Early drafts and notes for several
essays are published here for the first time, making this
authoritative critical edition a major contribution to Conrad
studies.
