The Secret Agent is set in the seedy world of Adolf Verloc, a
storekeeper and double agent in late-Victorian London who pretends
to sympathize with a group of international anarchists but reports
on their activities to both the Russian embassy and the British
government. As he is drawn further into a terrorist bombing plot,
his family also becomes involved, with devastating consequences.
Based on a real-life failed anarchist plot, The Secret Agent is
both intimately engaged with its historical moment and profoundly
relevant today. This new Broadview Edition helps to recreate the
historical context that informed Conrad's preoccupations with
global terrorism, human degeneration, the relativity of time, and
the position of women.
