This Norton Critical Edition includes four storiesâtwo set on stormy seas, two on calm seas, all four based on the same incidentâthat speak to each other in interesting ways.
The stories in this Norton Critical Edition maintain the connection and sequencing that Joseph Conrad saw among them. In his âAuthorâs Noteâ to âTwixt Land and Sea, Conrad writes of his two âCalm-piecesâ (âThe Secret Sharerâ and The Shadow-Line) and his two âStorm-piecesâ (The Nigger of the âNarcissusâ and âTyphoonâ). This edition is based on the first English book edition for the stories and the first American edition for the âAuthorâs Noteâ for The Shadow-Line, âTyphoon,â and âThe Secret Sharer.â The stories are accompanied by explanatory annotations, a note on the texts (including a list of textual emendations), and a preface.âBackgrounds and Contextsâ brings together relevant correspondence and contemporary reviews from both British and American sources.
