The twenty-six essays collected in Notes on Life and Letters (first
published 1921) offer a kaleidoscopic view of Joseph Conrad's literary
views and interest in the events of his day, including the Titanic
disaster, First World War, and the re-emergence of his native Poland
as a nation state. The introduction gives the history of the gathering
of these diverse pieces into a single volume, traces the book's
reception, and offers new perspectives on its relationship to Conrad's
other writings. His essays underwent multiple layers of unauthorised
intervention by typists, compositors and editors: this history is set
out in the essay on the text and in the apparatus. The notes explain
literary and historical references, identify places mentioned, and
gloss foreign terms. (Google)
