The Shadow-Line: A Confession (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Joseph Conrad)

Volumes in The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Joseph Conrad depend, in the first instance, upon original archival research into pre-print materials; establishing secure digital texts of these materials through various readings, singly and jointly for purposes of comparison; emending the selected copy-text, normally a pre-print document, on the basis of the collation of these digital files; and generating the Critical Apparatus. Every stage demands and depends upon collaboration of the editors, who each contribute 50% of the produced work. This balance is then sustained in the drafting, composition and revision of the various components of the finished volume, including the Introductory Essay, Textual Essay, and Explanatory and Textual Notes. Collaboration on these volumes means exactly that. Apart from the Introduction and Explanatory Notes in the latter volume, which was produced by Owen Knowles, Tales of Unrest and The Shadow-Line are wholly the work of both editors, Allan H Simmons and J H Stape.
