"The five stories brought together in Tales of Unrest (1898) mark a turning point
in the writer's career. Conrad's first short story collection evidences a writer firmly
in control of his new craft staking a claim to diverse cultural and fictional territories.
The introduction situates the writing of these stories in Conrad's career and discusses
their sources and contemporary reception. The explanatory notes identify literary
and historical references and real-life places, and indicate influences. Two maps
and six illustrations enrich the explanatory matter. The essay on the text lays out
the history of the work's composition and publication, details interventions by Conrad's
typists, compositors and editors, and explains editorial policy. This edition, established
through modern textual scholarship, presents Conrad's stories and his preface to the
collection in forms more authoritative than any so far printed"--
