Like its predecessors, this volume includes a high proportion of previously unpublished letters, and many of those already published have appeared only in small-circulation journals. Again like its predecessors, this volume is full of surprises that require us to remould our understanding of Conrad's writings. His correspondence for these years reveals his state of mind as he and his family dealt with the constant anxieties of the war-time years, and the return to a fragile peace. During this time, Conrad published three novels - The Shadow-Line, The Arrow of Gold, and The Rescue - together with a considerable amount of shorter work,  was preparing for the publication of his collected works on both sides of the Atlantic, and was engaged in a critical rereading of his earlier books.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of holders of letters\u003cbr\u003e Published sources of letters\u003cbr\u003e Other frequently cited works\u003cbr\u003e Chronology, 1917–1919\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Conrad's correspondents, 1917–1919\u003cbr\u003e Editorial procedures\u003cbr\u003e Letters\u003cbr\u003e Silent corrections to the text\u003cbr\u003e Corrigenda for volumes 4–5\u003cbr\u003e Index of recipients\u003cbr\u003e Index of names.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Diaries, letters \u0026amp; journals [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Diaries, letters \u0026amp; journals\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Diaries,%20letters%20\u0026amp;%20journals%20%5BBJ%5D%22\"\u003eBJ\u003c\/a\u003e], Biography: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Biography: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Biography:%20general%20%5BBG%5D%22\"\u003eBG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006034432280,"sku":"9780521561952","price":167.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521561952i_a7cf1e52-38b9-4d5d-ac68-8bae1fa8560a.jpg?v=1691369803","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-collected-letters-of-joseph-conrad-hardback-9780521561952","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
