Based on an exhaustive study of the manuscripts and printed
editions in which these poems have appeared, the fifth volume in
the series of The Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne
presents newly edited critical texts of the five canonical satires
and "Metempsychosis" and details the genealogical history of each
accompanied by a thorough prose discussion. The analysis contained
in the volume shows that Donne revised each of the poems and
explains how readings from the competing versions were intermingled
in the early editions and transmitted to subsequent generations.
The volume also presents a comprehensive organized digest of the
critical-scholarly commentary on these poems from Donne s time
through 2001."

Since its first appearance in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine in
1899 and 1900, Lord Jim (1900) has been acclaimed as a modernist
masterwork. Its narrative innovations and psychological complexity
make it one of the most influential fictions written in the
twentieth century and it has challenged and stimulated generations
of readers as well as writers on and of fiction. This edition,
established through modern textual scholarship, presents Conrad's
novel and its preface in a form more authoritative than any so far
printed. The Introduction situates the novel in Conrad's career and
traces its sources and contemporary reception. The explanatory
notes identify literary and historical references and real-life
places and indicate Conrad's main influences. Glossaries, maps and
illustrations are provided for further context, as well as a new
transcription of 'Tuan Jim: A Sketch', a partial draft of the
novel, and appearing in print for the first time, Conrad's contract
for the book.
