Published in 1915, Victory: An Island Tale holds a special place in
Conrad's later writings as a bold experiment in genre. The novel
variously draws upon realism, allegory and melodrama to explore
large themes: commitment and solidarity, the individual's
relationship to society and the power of love. The Introduction
situates the novel in Conrad's career and traces its sources and
contemporary reception. The essay on the text and the apparatus lay
out the history of the work's composition and publication, and
detail the extensive interventions by Conrad's typists, compositors
and editors. Also included are notes explaining literary and
historical references, a glossary of nautical terms, illustrations
including pictures of early drafts, and appendixes. Established
through modern textual scholarship, this edition of Victory
presents the novel in a form more authoritative than any so far
printed, and restores a text that has circulated in highly
defective forms since its original publication.
