Written in 1899-1900, Lord Jim is one of the key works of literary
Modernism. A novel of immense power, it has never been out of print,
attracting readers for over a century and variously influencing the
development of twentieth-century fiction. This page-by-page
transcription of the surviving manuscript and fragmentary typescript
offers a privileged glimpse into the writer's workshop, allowing a
reader to follow closely the evolution of character, narrative
technique, and themes.
Accompanying the transcription of the novel (about half of which
survives) are supplementary materials that contribute to the story of
its history: a new transcription of "Tuan Jim" (the Ur-version of the
opening chapters) and the draft version of Conrad's 1917 "Author's
Note" to the novel. Lord Jim: A Transcription of the Manuscript makes
available for the first time material housed in far-flung archives and
encourages genetic approaches to a work acclaimed for its polished
style, virtuoso effects, and narrative complexity.
A "must have" in the library of any scholar of late-Victorian and
Modernist fiction, this volume will attract all readers with a serious
interest in the art of fiction.
