- Summary:
- Based upon a comparison of the manuscript and authoritative book editions published during Conrad's lifetime, this edition takes Conrad's manuscript as its copy-text, thus privileging his original work. The English and American first editions identify authorial revisions and correct errors Conrad himself made during the novel's year-long drafting. This edition, established through modern textual scholarship, presents the novel and its preface in forms more authoritative than any so far printed, and restores a text that has circulated in defective forms since its original publication.
