Set in the tumultuous political world of Tsarist repression and revolutionary intrigue in St Petersburg and Geneva, Under Western Eyes (1911) renders with searing intensity the psychological torment of its Russian protagonist, a university student who, in betraying another, has betrayed himself. Based upon a comparison of the existing manuscript and other materials, this scholarly and first extensively annotated edition of Joseph Conrad's great novel Under Western Eyes differs from all previous printings by more accurately reflecting Conrad's writing process. The reading text is supported by new scholarly materials that are the result of fifteen years of investigation: essays on the textual and biographical history of the novel, extensive notes, appendices and maps, as well as a full listing of the thousands of textual variants in the early forms of the novel, including the 18,000 words that Conrad himself deleted.

Industry Reviews

'There are punctilious descriptions of parts of the narrative, especially the unique provenance of single sheets (including descriptions of the handwritings on several separate sheets). This extraordinary exhaustiveness, while not unusual in the Conrad industry, distinguishes this Edition of Under Western Eyes and assures us that extreme care has been being devoted to details of this challenging artifact ... this Edition of Under Western Eyes is a triumph of the textual editor's heart.' Dale Kramer, Joseph Conrad Today
