Lord Jim (WW Norton & Co)

This revised "Critical Edition" represents a complete recasting of the 1968 edition; the first English edition (Blackwood's Magazine, 1900) is now the copy-text. The novel is accompanied by expanded annotations, textual notes and a "Lord Jim" gazeteer and glossary of eastern and nautical terms. Other background and source material presented includes: Conrad's correspondence; an account of "Lord Jim"'s several endings; detailed accounts of the novel's historical and literary sources; geographical and topographical studies; and 12 critical essays representing some of the best canonical writing on "Lord Jim".
