Long hard to obtain and frequently neglected by critics, each can now be appreciated both in its own right and as part of the two authors' individual oeuvres. This scholarly edition situates both works in the context of the writers' meeting and ongoing collaboration, providing illuminating literary and historical references and detailing the works' composition history and reception in the UK and America. As well as establishing definitive texts of both works and of the authors' prefaces written for the 1924 republication of The Nature of a Crime, this edition also includes Ford's own 1924 account of his collaboration with Conrad on The Inheritors, as well as the text of Ford's 'The Old Story', a hitherto unpublished early draft of the basic plot of The Nature of a Crime.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e General Editors' Preface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Chronology: Joseph Conrad\u003cbr\u003e Chronology: Ford Madox Ford\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations and Note on Editions\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e The Inheritors\u003cbr\u003e The Nature of a Crime\u003cbr\u003e Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e The Texts: An Essay\u003cbr\u003e Apparatus\u003cbr\u003e Textual Notes\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 1: Ford Madox Ford on The Inheritors\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 2: 'The Old Story'\u003cbr\u003e Explanatory Notes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: from c 1900 - [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: from c 1900 -\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20from%20c%201900%20-%20%5BDSBH%5D%22\"\u003eDSBH\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":46265485787416,"sku":"9781107016811","price":87.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781107016811i.jpg?v=1692023400","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-inheritors-and-the-nature-of-a-crime-hardback-9781107016811","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
