In his \"Author's Note\" to \u003cem\u003e'Twixt Land and Sea\u003c\/em\u003e, Conrad writes of his two \"Calm-pieces\" (\"The Secret Sharer\" and \u003cem\u003eThe Shadow-Line\u003c\/em\u003e) and his two \"Storm-pieces\" (\u003cem\u003eThe Nigger of the \"Narcissus\"\u003c\/em\u003e and \"Typhoon\"). This edition is based on the first English book edition for the stories and the first American edition for the \"Author's Note\" for \u003cem\u003eThe Shadow-Line\u003c\/em\u003e, \"Typhoon,\" and \"The Secret Sharer.\" The stories are accompanied by explanatory annotations, a note on the texts (including a list of textual emendations), and a preface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Backgrounds and Contexts\" brings together relevant correspondence and contemporary reviews from both British and American sources. Also included are documents related to Conrad's sources for the stories, among them Charles Arthur Sankey's \"Ordeal of the \u003cem\u003eCutty Sark\u003c\/em\u003e: A True Story of Mutiny, Murder on the High Seas.\" To help readers navigate, the editor includes a glossary of nautical terms as well as diagrams of the kinds of ships that appear in the stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Criticism\" includes fifteen essays representing both new and established voices. The essays are arranged by story, with the focus on Conrad's major themes--colonialism, narrative, gender, and race. Albert J. Guerard, Lillian Nayder, Mark D. Larabee, Fredric Jameson, F. R. Leavis, and John G. Peters are among the contributors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A chronology of Conrad's life and work and a selected bibliography are also included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Conrad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393936333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393936339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
