Reviews

`Jones's tracing of the textual history of Chance ... makes telling reading.'
Elizabeth Lowry, TLS
`Jones's is the most convincing attempt at redemption of Conrad's final phase in recent Conradian criticism. Chapter 5 appears to me to be a very useful contribution to Conrad scholarship, as it considers the text of Chance form manuscript, to serial, to volume.'
Marialuisa Bignami, MLR, 96.I, 2001
